    Notes: Abstract With existing and proposed air-quality regulations, ecological disasters resulting from air emissions such as those observed at Copperhill, Tennessee, and Sudbury, Ontario, are unlikely. Current air-quality standards, however, may not protect ecosystems from subacute and chronic exposure to air emissions. The encouragement of the use of coal for energy production and the development of the fossil-fuel industries, including oil shales, tar sands, and coal liquification, point to an increase and spread of fossil-fuel emissions and the potential to influence a number of natural ecosystems. This paper reviews the reported responses of ecosystems to air-borne pollutants and discusses the use of animals as indicators of ecosystem responses to these pollutants. Animal species and populations can act as important indicators of biotic and abiotic responses of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. These responses can indicate long-term trends in ecosystem health and productivity, chemical cycling, genetics, and regulation. For short-term trends, fish and wildlife also serve as monitors of changes in community structure, signaling food-web contamination, as well as providing a measure of ecosystem vitality. Information is presented to show not only the importance of animals as indicators of ecosystem responses to air-quality degradation, but also their value as air-pollution indices, that is, as air-quality-related values (AQRV), required in current air-pollution regulation.

    Notes: Abstract In this report the state of the art with respect to PVC as pharmaceutical packaging material is described. A general introduction into the applications of PVC is followed by a description of its production process. The metabolic effects of the monomer of PVC, vinyl chloride and of the most commonly used plasticizer diethylhexylphthalate are mentioned. Special attention is given to the pharmaceutical properties of plasticized PVC bags in comparison to other plastics and the environmental aspects of waste PVC disposal. Although there are emotional and political queries regarding the future use of PVC as a (pharmaceutical) packaging material, we conclude that there is no scientific justification for a total or partial ban of PVC. PVC will remain a fact of life as a cheap, versatile, high-performance and well-investigated plastic material for medical and pharmaceutical applications, to be replaced by newer plastics only for certain well-defined indications where the requirements of the plastic to be used are so specific that it will economically and technically be justified to use another polymer. Community and hospital pharmacists have to be prepared for a role in intake of waste plastic disposables, probably against deposit money, in order to fulfil the logistics needed for recycling.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wird über Untersuchungen an Legierungen aus isotaktischem Polypropylen und EPDM-Elastomer berichtet, die mit hochenergetischen Elektronen bestrahlt worden waren. Die Mischungsverhältnisse in den Proben überstrichen sowohl den für elastomermodifizierte Thermoplaste typischen Bereich als auch den der thermoplasticschen Elastomeren. Eine Vernetzung der Komponenten über die Grenzfläche hinweg wurde nachgewiesen. Diese grenzflächenübergreifende Vernetzung bewirkte eine merkliche Verbesserung der mechanischen Eigenschaften insbesondere des thermoplastischen Elastomeren.
    Notes: Blends of isotactic polypropylene and EPDM rubber have been treated by electron irradiation in the composition range of rubber modification and in the thermoplastic rubber composition range as well. Mutual crosslinking of the components through the interface could be detected. This intercrosslinking caused a remarkable improvement of the mechanical properties particularly of the thermoplastic rubber.

    Notes: The mechanisms of photooxidation usually envisaged, are perfected by taking into account photoreactions of peroxy radicals. They involve interaction of a peroxy radical with the polymer to yield a hydroperoxy radical and a pair of macroradicals. After peroxidation, this pair will usually undergo bimolecular termination. The influence of such a reaction on photooxidation kinetics is particularly important for polyethylene. Then, chain termination occurs mainly by interaction of two hydroperoxy radicals or of a hydroperoxy radical with a macroperoxy radical. The reaction does not only affect kinetics of photooxidation but also the nature of the photooxidation products. The latter is more important for polypropylene than for polyethylene.

    Notes: Isothermal Differential Thermal Analysis was used to test the thermooxidative stability of pipes of polybutene during internal pressure tests at 110°C. At low hoop stresses and long testing times pipe failure was exclusively caused by thermooxidative degradation of the polymer.The stabilizer distribution in the initial state and its alteration during the pressure tests could easily be measured by isothermal DTA. Leaching of antioxidants from pipe walls could be detected. The decrease of residual thermooxidative stability was degressive.Degradation of pipe material started from the exterior pipe wall. Molecular weight of polybutene decreased rapidly after stabilizer exhaustion which could be observed by isothermal DTA.

    Notes: A base of experimental data on the ageing of commerial grade plastics is created. In includes assorted physical and chemical properties of plastics and their changes at natural ageing. An automated system for storing and processing of the experimental data is designed. Processing involves mathematical modeling of the changes in properties that aids in empirical prediction. The possibilities of the system are verified with experimental results from a 5-year ageing period of PE-LD and PE-HD. The results show a good agreement between the predicted and real data for selected models.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Morphologie von Polypropylen-Spritzgußteilen mit Bindenaht wurde mit Röntgenweit-und Kleinwinkelstreuung, Lichtstreuung und Polarisationsmikroskopie untersucht. Die erhaltenen morphologischen Daten wurden mit mechanischen Werten aus Zugversuchen korreliert. Es wird gefunden, daß die mechanischen Eigenschaften der untersuchten Proben im wesentlichen von der sphärolithstruktur beeinflußt werden. Anhäufungen von Sphärolithen mit Kristallen der hexagonalen β-Modifikation und eine starke Inhomogenität der Sphärolithstruktur senkrecht zur Bindenaht sind der wesentliche Grund für die verschlechterten mechanischen Eigenschaften. Diese Sphärolithstruktur wird durch die Temperatur des Spritzgußwerkzeugs stark beeinflußt. Die Lamellen-Überstruktur hat dagegen einen vernachlässigbar kleinen Einfluß auf das mechanische Verhalten.
    Notes: The morphology of polypropylene plaques containing a weld line, has been investigated by x-ray wide and small angle scattering, light scattering and polarization microscopy. The results are correlated to mechanical values obtained from tensile tests. While the lamellar morphology is of neglectable influence, it is found, that the mechanical properties of the samples are strongly influenced by the spherulitic structure. Clustering of β-type spherulites and strong morphological inhomogeneities in the vicinity of the weld line are the primary reason for the mechanical weakening of the plaques. The temperature of the mould has a strong effect on the spherulitic structure and thus on the tensile properties of the samples.

    Description / Table of Contents: Füllstoffe für PVC- und PP-Formmassen wurden mit Mikrowellenplasma behandelt. Photoakustische FT-IR-Spektren zeigen, daß die Plasma-Polymerhülle auf der Füllstoffoberfläche —C=C—, —CH2—, CH3— und andere Gruppen enthält. Aus Röntgenelektronenspektren geht hervor, daß zwischen Siliciumdioxid und der organischen Beschichtung chemische Bindungen existieren. Durch Compoundieren von plasmabehandelten Füllstoffen mit PVC und PP werden Materialien mit guten mechanischen Eigenschaften bei niedrigen Kosten erhalten.
    Notes: Fillers for PVC and PP compounds have been treated by microwave plasma. FT-IR photoacoustic spectroscopy studies show that the plasma polymer sheath on filler's surface contains —C=C—, —CH2—, —CH3 groups, etc. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy studies reveal that interfacial chemical bondings exist between silica and the organic coating. Application of plasma-treated fillers in PVC and PP compounds gives rise to materials of good mechanical properties and low cost.

    Description / Table of Contents: Poly-(alkylenadipat)-diole mit Molmassen von 1500, 2000 und 3000 wurden bei Temperaturen von 25 und 60°C in Gegenwart verschiedener Alkohole und unterschiedlicher PUR-Katalysatoren (1,4-Diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octan (DABCO), Dibutylzinndilaurat (DBTL),Dibutylzinndiethoxid (DBTEO) und Dibutylzinnoxid (DBTO)) in Ethylacetat bzw. Toluol gelagert und die Alkoholyse verfolgt. Die erhaltenen Ergebnisse werden mit dem Alkoholyseverhalten verschiedener Dialkyladipate sowie des Lösungsmittels Ethylacetat unter den selben Bedingungen verglichen. Die Alkoholyse verlauft in Gegenwart der zinnorganischen Verbindungen etwa mit gleicher Geschwindigkeit, ohne daß diese selbst signifikant zersetzt werden, wahrend DABCO praktisch inaktiv ist. Die Aktivitat der Alkohole ist starker von ihrer sterischen Struktur als von ihrer Basizitat abhangig. Die Stabilität der Polyalkylenadipate gegenüber einer Umesterung nimmt mit der Lange der Diolalkyleneinheiten des Polyols zu. Die Umesterung von Adipinsäuredialkylestern findet auch partiell in Anwesenheit eines großen Uberschusses an Ethylacetat statt.
    Notes: Poly(alkylene adipate)diols having molar masses of 1500, 2000 and 3000 were stored at temperatures of 25 and 60°C in the presence of low amounts of different alcohols and some polyurethane (PUR) catalysts, such as dibutyltindilaurate (DBTL), dibutyltindiethoxide (DBTEO), dibutyltinoxide (DBTO), and 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO). Alcoholysis was studied using either ethyl acetate (EA) or toluene as solvent. The results were compared with those obtained by examining the behaviour of several dialkyl adipates and ethyl acetate under identical conditions. The alcoholysis in the presence of the tin catalysts proceeds at the same reaction rate without significant decomposition of the catalyst, whereas DABCO is practically inactive. The nucleophilic activity of the alcohols depends on their bulk size rather than their basicity. The resistance of polyalkylene adipates to transesterification increases with the increasing alkyl chain length of diol units in polyester. A partial transesterification of dialkyl adipates takes place too, in spite of ethyl acetate being present in excess.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wurde das Permeations- und Trennverhalten von Alkohol/Wasser-Systemen durch poröse PVA-Membranen untersucht. PVA-Membranen mit unterschiedlicher Anzahl und Große von Poren wurden über Mischungen in Lösung mit verschiedenen synthetisierten Polymeren und Copolymeren, wie Polyacrylsäure, Polyacrylnitril, Polyacrylamid, Poly(Methylmethacrylat-co-Maleinsäureanhydrid) etc., anschließendes Gießen von Filmen und Extraktion der Polymeren oder Copolymeren durch Lösungsmittel hergestellt. Die Abhängigkeit der Durchlässigkeit und Trennwirkung von der Größe und Form der permeierenden Moleköle wurde qualitativ diskutiert. Des weiteren wurde die Selektivität der Trennwirkung in Abhangigkeit von der Zusammensetzung von Alkohol/Wasser-Gemischen und von der Größe und Anzahl der Poren untersucht. Es wurde gefunden, daß die Selektivität von der Menge und dem Molekulargewicht der in die Membranen eingebrachten Polymeren abhängt. Wenn der Gewichtsanteil des verwendeten Polymeren größer als 0,1 war, permeierte bevorzugt der Alkoholanteil bei methanolischen Msungen, wobei der Trennfaktor mit steigender Methanolkonzentration anstieg. In Gemischen mit anderen Alkoholen zeigten die Membranen andererseits eine selektive Durchlässigkeit für Wasser. Der Einfluß der Versuchsbedingungen wurde ebenfalls untersucht.
    Notes: The permeation and separation characteristics of alcohol/water systems through porous PVA membranes were investigated. Porous PVA membranes with different pore size and number were prepared by solution blending of PVA with several synthesized polymers or copolymers, such as polyacrylic acid, polyacrylamide, polyacrylonitrile, and methylmethacrylate-co-maleic anhydride, etc. Then casting, and finally extracting the blended polymers or copolymers by solvent from the membranes. The dependency of both permeation and separation on the molecular size and shape of the permeating species was dicussed qualitatively. Moreover, the permselectivity was investigated with attention to the feed composition of alcohol/water mixture and the effect of pore size and number. The selectivity was found to depend on the weight ratio and the molecular weight of polymer introduced to the membrane. When the weight ratio of polymer introduced into the membrane was larger than 0.1, methanol was permeated through membrane preferentially in methanol/water system, and the separation factor increased with increasing the methanol feed concentration. On the other hand, membrane had a selective permeability for water in the other alcohol/water systems. The influence of operating conditions was also studied.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Temperatur des T1-Minimums für die Segmentbewegung in Polypropylen, das einen hohen ataktischen Anteil besitzt, ist niedriger als die in isotaktischem Polypropylen. Ein kurzes T1, T1s, tritt bei beiden Materialien auf. Bei Temperaturerhöhung nimmt T2a (T2 der beweglichen amorphen Bezirke) stark und T2m (T2 der dazwischen liegenden Bezirke) leicht zu, während sich T2c (T2 der steifen kristallinen Bezirke) kaum ändert. T2a in Polypropylen mit hohem ataktischem Anteil ist länger als in isotaktischem Polypropylen.Der Massenbruch der kristallinen Bezirke, Fc, nimmt bei Temperaturerhöhung ab und der der amorphen Bezirke, Fa, zu. Die Relaxationsgeschwindigkeit, 1/ (T1min), steigt linear mit Zunahme des amorphen Anteils an, außer bei der mit siedendem n-Heptan extrahierten Probe. Mit Zunahme der Peaktemperatur von tan δ fällt T2a nahezu linear ab, während die Temperatur des T1-Minimums zunimmt.
    Notes: The temperature of the T1 minimum for the segmental motion in polypropylene containing a lot of atactic fraction is lower than that in isotactic polypropylene. A short T1, T1s, appears for both materials. As the temperature is raised, there is a large increase in T2a (T2 of the mobile amorphous regions), and a mild increase in T2m (T2 of the intermediate regions), while there is no substantial change in T2c (T2 of the rigid crystalline regions). T2a in polypropylene containing a lot of atactic fraction is longer than that in isotactic polypropylene.The mass fraction of crystalline regions, Fc, decreases and that of the amorphous regions, Fa, increases as the temperature is raised. There is a linear increase in the relaxation rate, 1/(T1min), as the amorphous fraction is increased, except for the sample extracted with boiling n-heptane. With increase of the peak temperature of tanδ, T2a decreases nearly linearly, while the temperature of the T1 minimum increases.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Bestrahlung von PTFE mit Elektronen niedriger Energie führt zur Abspaltung von Fluor und zum Einbau von Sauerstoff in die Polymeroberfläche. Es wird gezeigt, daß das Ausmaß der Oberflächenveränderungen hauptsächlich von der Zahl und kaum von der Energie der Elektronen abhängt, die die Oberfläche erreichen. Änderungen in der Oberflächenenergie resultieren in unterschiedlichem Benetzungsverhalten. Kontaktwinkelmessungen und Kurvenanalysen der C-1s-Peaks aus Röntgenphotonenspektroskopiemessungen zeigen, daß der am wenigsten benetzbare Teil der bestrahlten Oberflächen in den meisten Fällen aus —CF2 —CF-Einheiten besteht. Werden bei der Bestrahlung nahezu alle Fluoratome abgespalten, bleiben nur isolierte —CF2-oder —CF-Gruppen zurück. Die „receding“-Winkel werden mit zunehmender Sauerstoffkonzentration in der Oberfläche kleiner, was auf die Bildung stark oxidierter Bereiche hinweist. Die Unabhängigkeit der Kontaktwinkel von der Alterungsdauer deutet auf eine sehr geringe Beweglichkeit der Makromoleküle hin, was mit einer starken Vernet-zung an der Oberfläche zusammenhängen könnte.
    Notes: Low energy electron irradiation of PTFE induced fluorine depletion and introduction of oxygen on the surface. The effect on surface chemistry was shown to be dependent mostly on the amount of electrons reaching the sample, rather than on their energy.Changes in surface energy resulted in different wetting behaviors. The measurement of advancing water contact angles and the analysis of XPS C-1s peak shapes showed that the least wettable portion of irradiated surfaces is made in most cases of —CF2—CF — units. When the treatment caused a nearly complete fluorine depletion, only isolated —CF2— or —CF— groups are present. Receding angle values decreased linearly depending on the amount of oxygen introduced on the sample during the treatment, suggesting the formation of strongly oxidized polymer islets. The invariance of contact angles with aging time indicated very low macromolecular mobility, probably related to extensive surface crosslinking.

    Description / Table of Contents: In aqueous dispersions of anionic polyurethanes containing the triethylammonium salt of 2,2-dimethylol propionic acid as chain extender, triethylamine can be largely replaced by ammonia. For electrostatic reasons, NH4+ is namely more tightly bound in the ion pairs located in the Stern layer than NH(C2H5)3+. Thermal treatment of films leads to a loss of base, whereby ammonia is more rapidly released than triethylamine. Therefore, crosslinking with partially methylated hexamethylolmelamine proceeds the faster the more triethylamine is replaced by ammonia.
    Notes: In Dispersionen aus anionischen Polyurethanen, die das Triethylammoniumsalz der 2,2-Dimethylolpropionsäure als Kettenverlängerungsmittel enthalten, läßt sich durch Zugabe von Ammoniak eine weitgehende Verdrängung des Triethylamins erreichen. Aus elektrostatischen Gründen ist nämlich in den in der Sternschen Schicht lokalisierten Ionenpaaren NH4+ fester gebunden als NH(C2H5)3+. Bei der thermischen Behandlung der Filme tritt Basenabspaltung ein, dabei erfolgt die Abgabe von Ammoniak deutlich schneller als die von Triethylamin. Die Spannungswerte der mit teilmethyliertem Hexamethylolmelamin vernetzten Proben sind daher um so höher, je mehr Triethylamin durch Ammoniak ersetzt wurde.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Viskoelastizitäts-Parameter von geschmolzenem Polystyrol (PS) wurden mit einem Instron-Kapillarrheometer gemessen.Die Drucknachgiebigkeit B(t) zeigt ein Plateau sowohl im Schmelze (B1)- als auch im Glaszustand (Bg); beide nehmen mit abnehmender Spannung ab. Durch Verschiebung der B(t)-Kurven werden Master-Kurven erhalten, mit denen das Gesamtdruckverhalten (überlagerte elastische und viskose Deformationen) analysiert werden kann. Die stationäre Nachgiebigkeit (Bs) erlaubt eine Beschreibung des elastischen Energieanteils und scheint mit der Extrusions-Strangaufweitung (Bcs/Bds) korreliert zu sein. Die Volumenviskosität (ηk) nimmt mit zunehmender Spannung (P), zunehmender Belastungsgeschwindigkeit (k) und abnehmender Temperatur ab.
    Notes: Viscoelastic parameters of polystyrene (PS) melt in compression creep have been measured in an lnstron capillary-rheometer.Bulk compression creep compliance B(t) shows plateau regions in the molten state (B1) and the glassy state (Bg), both decreasing with increasing stress. Shifting of B(t) curves provides master curves suitable to analysing the total (superposed elastic and viscous deformations) bulk compression behaviour. The steady-state creep compliance (Bs) allows to describe the recoverable elastic energy (Be) and seems to be related to the extrusion die swell (Bcs/Bds). Volume viscosity (ηk) decreases with decreasing stress (P), increasing compression rates (k) and decreasing temperature (T).

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wurden Untersuchungen über Molekulargewichtsänderungen an physikalisch bei Raumtemperatur gealterten isotaktischen Polypropylenfilamenten (iPP) mit Hilfe der Hochtemperaturgelpermeationschromatographie (HTGPC) durchgeführt. Das Ergebnis der Untersuchungen weist auf eine sehr unbedeutende Änderung des Molekulargewichts des Materials während der Alterung hin.Das Materialgranulat wurde als Bezugsstandard gewählt. Basierend auf der Uneinheitlichkeit D = Mw/Mn des Granulats wurden Filamente der Handelsprodukte GYE 47 und PXC 31399 charakterisiert, deren Alterungsdauer zwischen 2 Wochen und 8 Monaten lag. Bei den Filamenten der Qpe GYE 47 verringerte sich die Breite der Molekulargewichtsverteilung D um durchschnittlich 12%. Andererseits zeigen die Filamente des PXC 31399-vps einen weniger eindeutigen Trend zur Änderung, jedoch im Mittel hat sich die Breite der Verteilung um etwa 20% erniedrigt. Bei letzterem ist die Verteilung iiber die Alterungsdauer stark gestreut. Der GYE 47-Typ zeigt eine nahezu asymptotische Abnahme. Es wird angenommen, daß die Ungleichartigkeit in der Ändenz der Anderung von D zwischen beiden Proben in ihrer unterschiedlichen thermodynamischen Stabilitat liegen ktinnte; PXC 31399 ist weniger stabil.
    Notes: Experiments on the molecular weight variations of physically, room temperature aged isotactic polypropylene (iPP) filaments were done using the High Temperature Gel Permeation Chromatography (HTGPC). Evidence emanating from the studies indicates a very marginal change in molecular weight of the materials during aging.The granules of the materials were chosen as the reference standard. Based on the polydispersity D = Mw/Mn of the granules, filaments of commercial grades GYE 47 and PXC 31399 were characterized between an aging period ranging from 2 weeks to 8 months. The filaments of the GYE 47 grade have their distributions D lowered on the average by about 12%. On the other hand, those of the PXC 31399 grade have a less definite trend in change, but on the average, D is lowered by about 20%. The distributions of this latter grade are highly scattered over the period of aging. The GYE 47 grade shows a reduction in the distribution of a near asymptotic nature. It is believed that the disparity in the trend of change of D between the two samples could be attributed to their relative thermodynamic stability with the PXC 31399 grade being less stable.

    Notes: The properties (squared dimensions, anisotropy, numbers of intra- and intermolecular contacts) of a single five-way cubic lattice chain embedded into an environment (matrix) of chains of the same length n = 50 were evaluated as a function of matrix volume fraction (matrix density) v and intermolecular interaction between the matrix polymer and the minority chain segments, characterized by a parameter φ. No convincing evidence was found for the occurrence of a coil-globule transition in the range of matrix densities (v ≤ 0.7) and repulsive interactions between matrix and minority chain (φ ≤ 0.2) investigated. For moderate attractive interaction (φ ≈ -0.17) a compensation of the chaincompressing action of the matrix and the chain-expanding interaction with the matrix was observed resulting in a zero-dependence of the size and shape of the minority chain on matrix density. It further turned out that there are fixed relations among the various size and shape data irrespective of the specific combination of matrix density and thermodynamic interaction by which a particular polymer dimension is produced. These interrelations are fairly the same as those evaluated for isolated chains the size of which is varied by an intramolecular energy parameter φi.

    Notes: New three phases composite materials made of glassbeads as filler, water as liquid dispersed phase and polystyrene as matrix were obtained by polymerization of a water in oil emulsion formed by water dispersed in styrene in which glass beads are added. For this purpose glass beads have to be modified by silanization by a coupling agent 3-(Trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate (TPM) or a silane Octadecyltrichlorosilane (ODMS), in order to prevent the wetting of the glass by water. Only low coverage of the glass surface by the coupling agent (0,05% of TPM) are convenient for the preparation cellular materials having good mechanical properties. At higher coverage ratio, strong hydrophobic glass beads are obtained which destabilize the water / styrene emulsion and lead to macroporous products. Study of the rheology of the filled emulsion appears to be the more simple and more sensitive method to determine the level of wettability of the glass bead by the emulsion which is the most significant parameter for the preparation of such three phases composite materials. Composite materials made of glass beads, air and polystyrene are simply obtained by evaporation of water under vacuum.

    Notes: To test the molecular parameters concerning gas sorption in polymers, the concentration of CO2, N2O, CO, N2, CH4 and the noble gases Ne, He in glassy poly(butylene terephthalate) films (PBTP) has been studied gravimetrically with a recording microbalance at 25°C. The sorption isotherms exhibit downward curvature to the pressure axis. As neither solubility nor adsorption can explain the experimental results, analysis was carried out based on the dual-sorption model: gas dissolution and microvoid filling are considered as independent sorption mechanisms. The parameters of the dual-sorption model for the mentioned penetrants are determined. The results indicate that for parameter correlation the Lennard-Jones potential parameters give a rough idea, but size exclusion of gases in small diameter microvoids is proposed and special chemical interactions must be considered.

    Description / Table of Contents: The ring opening metathesis polymerisation (ROMP) of 5-cyano-2-norbornene with tungsten hexachloride, tungesten oxytetrachloride, bis(dichloralkoxo)tungsten tetrachloride and bis(dichloralkoxo)tungsten oxydichloride as transition metal component was studied. Methylaluminoxan, diethylaluminium ethoxide, tetraisobutyldialuminoxan and tetrabutyltin served as cocatalyst. Toluene, Chlorobenzene and dichloromethane were used as solvents. The concentration of the tungsten components was in the range from 5 × 10-4 to 5 × 10-3 mol/l. Among the catalyst studied, tungsten hexachloride with diethylaluminium ethoxide proved to be the best. The polymerisation was highly selective with this system even at high monomer/tungsten ratios (e.q. 10200:1) and let to high conversions (≥82%).
    Notes: Die ringöffnende metathetische Polymerisation (ROMP) von 5-Cyano-2-norbornen wurde unter Einsatz von Wolframhexachlorid, Wolframoxidterachlorid, Bis(dichloralkoxo)wolframtetrachlorid und Bis(dichloralkoxo)wolframoxiddichlorid als Übergangsmetallkomponente untersucht. Als Cokatalysatoren dienten Methylaluminoxan, Diethylaluminiumethoxid, Tetraisobutyldialuminoxan und Tetrabutylzinn. Als Lösungsmittel wurden Toluol, Chlorbenzol und Dichlormethan verwendet. Die Konzentration der Wolframkomponente lag im Bereich 5 × 10-4 - 5 × 10-3 mol/l. Unter den geprüften Katalysatoren erwies sich Wolframhexachlorid in Verbindung mit Diethylalumiumethoxid als der geeignetste. Mit diesem System verlief die Polymerisation auch bei großen Monomer/Wolfram-Verhältnissen (10200 :1) hochselektiv und führte zu großen Umsätzen (≥82%).

    Notes: The dependence of dilution on the chain propagation and termination rate constants was investigated in the polymerization of ethyl acrylate in benzene solution at 50°C, with the rotating sector method. The errors of the above rate constants were determined and, by our method applied to decrease these errors, the errors of the propagation rate constant was reduced to its half value. By the application of our earlier results in polymerization kinetics, we found that in this system the chain propagation step is exclusively responsible for the solvent effects observed. Our experimental results can be quantitatively described in terms of the hot redical theory.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Photopolymerisation von Ethylenglykoldimethacrylat (EGDMA) mit Methylmethacrylat (MMA) wurde mit Benzoinmethylether (BME) als Initiator in einem Glasrohr durchgeführt, um einen lichtfokussierenden Plastikstab (Radius Rp) mit parabolischer Brechungsindex-Verteilung (Verteilungskonstante A) in der Nähe der Stabachse (bis zum Radius Rc) herzustellen. Die Abhängigkeit von A und Rc/Rp vom Monomerenverhältnis MMA/EGDMA der Ausgangsmischung, der Einfluß der BME-Konzentration auf die Brechungsindex-Verteilung und die Reproduzierbarkeit der Photopolymerisationen wurden untersucht. Das Rc/Rp-Verhältnis stieg mit dem Monomerenverhältnis MMA/EGDMA bei BME = 1,0 Gew.-% und der Geschwindigkeit der UV-Lampe von V = 0,58 mm/min an. Andererseits stieg Rc/Rp bei BME = 0,6 Gew.-% und V = 0,735 mm/min bis zum Monomerenverhältnis von 0,2 an und fiel dann deutlich zwischen 0,20 und 0,25 ab. Die Plastikstäbe, die hier durch Photopolymerisation hergestellt wurden, haben Linseneigenschaften und sind gut reproduzierbar.
    Notes: The photocopolymerization of ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA) with methylmethacrylate (MMA) containing benzoin methyl ether (BME) as initiator was carried out in a glass tube to fabricate a light-focusing plastic rod (radius Rp) with a parabolic refractive index distribution (distribution constant A) in the region near the center axis (radius Rc). The dependence of A and Rc/Rp on MMA/EGDMA feed ratio, influence of BME concentration on the refractive index distribution, and the reproducibilities of the photopolymerizations were investigated. The Rc/Rp increased with the feed ratio used under BME = 1.0 wt.-% at velocity of UV lamp V = 0.58 mm/min. On the other hand, Rc/Rp increased with the feed ratio to 0.2 and then decreased remarkably with the feed ratio in the range of 0.2-0.25 with BME = 0.6 wt.-% at V = 0.735 mm/min. Plastic rods fabricated in the investigation using photopolymerization have lens characteristics and good reproducibilities.

    Description / Table of Contents: Polystyrol- und Polymethylmethacrylateinzelfäden mit verschiedenen Graden von Doppelbrechung wurden durch die kontinuierliche Änderung der Ziehgeschwindigkeit, der Temperatur der Polymerschmelze und des Molekulargewichts von Polystyrol (PS) und Polymethylmethacrylat (PMMA) gewonnen. Der “brittle to ductile” Übergangspunkt (Übergang des Polymeren vom spröden zum ziehbaren Zustand) wurde für das optisch reine Polystyrol im Bereich der Doppelbrechungszahlen -0,6 · 10-3 bis -2,6 · 10-3 gefunden. Höhe und Lage dieses Punktes werden durch das Molekulargewicht, die Molekulargewichtsverteilung und die Temperatur der Polymerschmelze beeinflußt. Die Werte des Doppelbrechungsindexes von PS sind um zwei Zehnerpotenzen höher als von PMMA. Bei PMMA wurde der “brittle to ductile” Übergangspunkt nicht beobachtet. Die mechanischen und optischen Eigenschaften hängen nicht nur vom mittleren Wert des durch die Doppelbrechung charakteri-sierten Orientierungsgrades ab, sondern auch davon, welcher Teil des Relaxations-spektrums des Polymeren vorzugsweise orientiert ist. Beim Ziehen der PS- und PMMA-Einzelfäden bilden sich in der Mitte des Fadens Risse (crazes), die jedoch nicht an die Oberflache des Fadens treten.
    Notes: Monofilaments possessing various degrees of birefringence were obtained by changing the drawing rate, the molten polymer temperature, and the molecular weight of polystyrene (PS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). The “brittle-toductile” transition point of optically pure PS was found in the range of birefringences of -0.6 · 10-3 to -2.6 · 10-3. Both the height and position of this point are influenced by M̄w, molecular weight distribution, and polymer melt temperature. The birefringence of PS is higher by two orders of magnitude than that of PMMA in which this transition point has not been observed. The mechanical and optical properties depend not only on the average amount of orientation characterized by the birefringence but on what portion of the relaxation spectrum of the polymer is preferentially oriented. During the drawing of PS and PMMA monofilaments crazes are formed in the centre of the fibers and do not reach the surface.

    Description / Table of Contents: A new spectroscopic method for determining the permeability of ammonia in transparent polymer layers is presented. It is based on the quantitative proof of the ammonia passing the test layer into a sensor layer, containing 4-nitrophenol as an NH3-sensitive probe, which is placed under the test film. The permeability (P) of the test layer is calculated from the slope of extinction with time in the sensor layer. The lag time (t1) gives the diffusion coefficient (D). The suitability of this method is confirmed by comparison with literature values. Diffusion coefficients obtained from t1 correspond well to those obtained by the sorption method.The temperature dependence of P and D in more than five different polymers (CDA, PVB, PVAc, PVC and different polyvinyl alcohols) demonstrates that peculiarities in the temperature dependence of the permeability result from the behaviour of the NH3-solubility (P/D) which is strongly dependent on the polymer structure.
    Notes: Es wird eine neuartige spektroskopische Methode zur Messung der Ammoniak-Permeabilität in transparenten Polymerfilmen vorgestellt. Sie beruht auf dem quantitativen Nachweis des den Testfilm durchdringenden Ammoniaks in einer darunter befindlichen Sensorschicht mit Hilfe der NH3-empfindlichen Sonde 4-Nitrophenol. Aus dem Anstieg der Extinktion mit der Zeit (ΔE/Δt) in der Sensorschicht wird die Permeabilität (P) und aus der Verzögerungszeit (lag time (t1)) der Diffusionskoeffizient (D) berechnet. Die Eignung der Methode wird durch Vergleich mit Literaturwerten belegt. Die aus t1 zugänglichen Diffusionskoeffizienten stimmen sehr gut mit denen überein, die mit der Sorptionsmethode gefunden werden.Die Temperaturabhängigkeiten von P und D in mehr als fünf verschiedenen Polymeren (CDA, PVB, PVAc, PVC und in verschiedenen Polyvinylalkoholen) zeigen, daß Besonderheiten im Temperaturgang der Permeabilität aus dem vom Aufbau des Polymeren stark abhängigen Verhalten der NH3-Löslichkeit (P/D) resultieren.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wurde die strahleninduzierte Pfropfung von 4-Vinylpyridin (VP) auf Styrol-Butadien-Styrol-Copolymere (SBS) in Gegenwart von gelöstem Sauerstoff untersucht. Pfropfcopolymer-Membranen mit unterschiedlichen Pfropfgraden wurden durch Gießen aus benzolischer Lösung hergestellt. Die mechanischen Eigenschaften, die Gaspermeabilität sowie der Einfluß der Temperatur auf die Gasdurchlässigkeit wurden untersucht. Der höchste Pfropfgrad von 8,4% wurde bei einer Bestrahlungszeit von 15,5 herreicht. Sowohl bei kürzeren als auch längeren Bestrahlungszeiten war der Pfropfgrad  -  bedingt durch Störung durch den vorhandenen Sauerstoff  -  niedriger. Reißfestigkeit und Reißdehnung von SBS-g-VP waren vergleichbar rnit SBS. Die Spannungsrelaxation von SBS-g-VP war langsamer als bei SBS, was auf der Bildung von starren Polyvinylpyridin(DVP)-Mikrophasen beruhen könnte, die als permanente Vernetzungspunkte wirken und die Spannungsrelaxation beeinträchtigen könnten.Da SBS eine hohe Gasdurchlässigkeit und PVP eine hohe O2/N2-Selektivität aufweisen, wurde die Gasdurchlässigkeit der Pfropfmembranen untersucht. Die Selektivitat der SBS-g-VP-Membranen stieg mit steigendem Pfropfgrad, allerdings auf Kosten der Permeabilität, Bei Erhöhung der Temperatur nahm die Durchlässigkeit zu, das Verhältnis O2/N2, aber ab. Die Aktivierungsenergie (Ep) der Gasdurchlässigkeit stieg mit dem Pfropfgrad. Für eine nichtgepfropfte SBS-Membran betrug Ep 5,5 kcal/mol für Sauerstoff und 7,2 kcal/mol für Stickstoff. Für eine SBS-g-VP-Membran mit einem Pfropfgrad von 8,4% waren die Ep-Werte für Sauerstoff und Stickstoff 6,5 bzw. 8,1 kcal/mol.
    Notes: The grafting of 4-vinyl pyridine (VP) onto styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymers (SBS) by homografting irradiation with dissolved oxygen was studied. Homograft membranes of various degree of grafting were prepared from a casting solution of grafted copolymer in benzene. The mechanical properties of membranes, gas permeability, and the effect of operating temperature on gas permeation were investigated.The degree of grafting of 8.4% was the largest at an irradiation time of about 15.5 h. It was smaller at both shorter and longer duration because of the interference of dissolved oxygen. It was found that the tensile strength and elongation of SBS-g-VP were similar to those of SBS. The stress relaxation of SBS-g-VP was slower than that of SBS, and this might be due to the formation of rigid microphase separation domain of poly(4-vinyl pyridine), which acted as permanent crosslinking points to reduce the stress relaxation.Using the properties of high flux of SBS and high O2/N2 selectivity of poly(4-vinyl pyridine), the performance of gas permeation of 4-vinyl pyridine homografted SBS membrane was studied. The selectivity of SBS-g-VP membrane increased with increasing degree of grafting. However, it was done at the expense of a decrease in the gas permeability.When the operating temperature of gas permeation increased, the permeability of oxygen and nitrogen increased, and the O2/N2 permeability ratio decreased. The activation energy (Ep) for gas permeation through different degree of grafting of SBS-g-VP membrane (obtained by the Arrhenius law) increased with increasing degree of grafting. For ungrafted SBS membrane, Ep was 5.5 kcal/mol for oxygen and 7.2 kcal/mol for nitrogen. For 8.4% grafting degree SBS-g-VP membrane, Ep for oxygen and nitrogen, were 6.5 and 8.1 kcal/mol, respectively.

    Description / Table of Contents: One constitutive property for the description of dyeing polyester-materials with disperse dyes is the particle size distribution in the dye bath. To measure particle sizes below one micrometer in situ, special techniques are required. One of these is the so called photon-correlation-spectroscopy, depending on the scattering of laser light by suspended small particles in a fluid. The mathematical and physical principles of the photon-correlation-technique are explained in this article.

Partikelgrößen unterhalb eines Mikrometers lassen sich in situ nur mit wenigen Meßtechniken bestimmen. Dazu zählt u. a. die Photonen-Korrelations-Spektroskopie, die auf Streuung von Laserlicht an kleinen, in einer Flüssigkeit suspendierten Teilchen basiert. Die mathematischen und physikalischen Grundlagen dieser Meßtechnik werden in diesem Artikel erläutert.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Kristallinität von Polyethylen, Polyethylenterephthalat und Polypropylen wurde mit Hilfe der Röntgenweitwinkel(WAXS)-und-kleinwinkel(SAXS)streuung gemessen. Die mittels der letzteren Methode erhaltenen Kristallinitätswerte sind deutlich größer als die durch WAXS. Es wird vermutet, daß die Unterschiede mit der Schicht zusammenhängen, die zwischen den amorphen und kristallinen Bereichen liegt. Daraus wurde geschlossen, daß die Röntgenkleinwinkelstreuung nicht als unabhängige Routinemethode zur Kristallinitätsbestimmung angewendet werden kann.
    Notes: The crystallinity of polyethylene, polyethyleneterephthalate, and polypropylene was measured with the aid of wide angle (WAXS) and small angle (SAXS) X-ray scattering methods. The values of crystallinity evaluated using the latter method are distinctly larger than those ones given by the WAXS method. The differences are supposed to be associated with the transition layer existing between the amorphous and crystalline regions. It was concluded that small angle X-ray scattering cannot be employed as an independent routine method of crystallinity determination.

    Description / Table of Contents: Für das System Cellulosenitrat-μ-Styragel-THF wurde die DP-Ve-Beziehung sowie die Ausarbeitung der betreffenden Eichparameter einer genaueren Betrachtung unterzogen. Die etwa dreißig Eichpräparate waren durch definierten säurekatalysierten Abbau von Baumwollcellulose und anschließende Nitrierung hergestellt worden und umfaßten einen DP-Bereich von 150 〈 DP 〈 8000. Es wird gezeigt, daß mit steigendem DP die DP-Ve-Beziehung drei verschiedene Phasen aufweist. Bei der Anwendung der SEC auf Cellulosenitrat müssen daher bezüglich der Eichung zwei Fehlerquellen in Betracht gezogen werden: eine bezieht sich auf die Methode der Ausarbeitung der Eichparameter als solche, und die andere auf die Nichtbeachtung des Vorhandenseins dreier Abschnitte in der DP-Ve-Beziehung. Die Auswirkung dieser Fehler auf die Genauigkeit der aus den Elutionsdiagrammen abgeleiteten Verteilungskurven und DP-Mittelwerte wird diskutiert.
    Notes: The calibration behaviour of the system cellulose nitrate-μ-Styragel-THF has been studied using about 30 different calibration samples prepared by defined acid catalyzed degradation of cotton cellulose. The samples covered a range of DP between 150 〈 DP 〈 8000. It is shown that the DP-Ve relationship is characterized by the existence of three subsequent stages. Consequently, two sources of errors in the DP-Ve calibration must be taken into consideration. One refers to the methods as such to elaborate the calibration parameters, and the other one arises by neglecting that the DP-Ve relationship involves 3 distinct stages. The extent of the two classes of errors in regard to the exactness of the determined molecular weight averages and molecular weight distributions is discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Bei der Polycondensation von d,l-Asparaginsäure mit Nδ-phthaloyl-L-ornithin in Phosphorsäure bei 185°C entstehen statisticsche Copolymere (Ausbeute 60  -  70%) aus Poly(d,l-succinimid-co-Nδ-phthaloyl-d,l-ornithin), Formel 6, mit inhärenten Viskositäten (DMF) von 5 bis 15 ml g-1. Copolyimide der selben Zusammensetzung 6 und vergleichbarer Kettenlänge werden aus Asparaginsäure und dem Kupferchelat des Phthaloylornithins erhalten. Die Behandlung des Copolymeren 6 mit Hydrazinhydrat fuhrt zur Öffnung der Succinimid-Kettenglieder unter Bildung von Hydrazid-Seitengruppen. Die resultierenden Polyamide sind Poly(α,β-d,l-asparaginsäurehydrazid-co-d,l-ornithin), Formel 7. Kürzere Reaktionszeiten bedingen unvollständige Ringöffnung, und die verbleibenden Succinimid-Gruppen werden bei der folgenden Aufarbeitung hydrolytisch gespalten unter Bildung von Asparaginsaüre-Gruppen; die sogebildeten Polyamide besitzen die Struktur 8. Beide Polymere, 7 und 8, sind in Wasser loslich und zeigen in Wasser inharente Viskositiiten von 5 bis 14 ml g-l. Die Fahigkeit dieser Polyamide zur Arzneimittelverankerung wird durch Ankoppeln von Carbonsau- ren als Modellsubstanzen gezeigt.
    Notes: The polycondensation of d,l-aspartic acid with Nδ-phthaloyl-l-ornithine in phosphoric acid at 185°C gives rise to the formation, in 60  -  75% yield, of random copolymers of the poly(d,l-succinimide-co-Nδ-phthaloyl-D,L-ornithine) type 6 possessing inherent viscosities (DMF) in the range of 5  -  15 ml g-1. Copolyimides of the same compositions 6 and comparable chain lengths are obtained from aspartic acid and the copper chelate of the phthaloylornithine. Treatment of copolymers 6 with hydrazine hydrate in DMF leads to N-deprotection and opening of the intrachain succinimide rings with formation of hydrazide side groups. The resultant polyamides are of the poly(α,β-d,l-asparthydrazide-co-d,l-ornithine) type 7. Shorter reaction periods give incomplete hydrazinolytic ring opening, and the remaining succinimide units are cleaved hydrolytically during the subsequent aqueous workup, thereby transforming into aspartic acid units. The polyamides so formed possess the general poly(α,β-d,l-asparthydrazide-co-α,β-d,l-aspartic acid-co-d,l-ornithine) structure 8 Both types 7 and 8 are soluble in water and, in this medium, give inherent viscosities of 5  -  14 ml g-1. The potential drug-anchoring capabilities of these amine-functionalized polyamides are demonstrated by coupling reactions with model carboxylic acids.

    Description / Table of Contents: Im Zusammenhang mit Arbeiten über den Wirkungsmechanismus von Antioxidantien in Kohlenwasserstoffpolymeren unter Sauerstoffmangel wurde die Abfangreaktion des Modellradikals 1-Cyano-1-methylethyl (R°) mit N-Isopropyl-N′-phenyl-1,4-phenylendiamin (Ia) und seinem Oxidationsprodukt IIa untersucht. Reines Ia und IIa reagieren kaum mit R′, eine Mischung aus beiden ist jedoch ein effektiver Fänger fur R′, wobei R′ entweder am Stickstoffatom zwischen den aromatischen Ringen unter Bildung von VIa gebunden wird, oder unter Substitution mit dem Phenylenring reagiert, wobei VIIIa entsteht. Verbindung VIa ist labil, bei Vulkanisationstemperatur spaltet sie im neutralen Medium Olefin unter Regenerierung von Ia ab. In Gegenwart von Säuren lauft diese Reaktion auch bei niedrigerer Temperatur ab. Im Produkt VIIIa ist R′ fest gebunden, durch die Nitrilgruppe tritt jedoch eine säurekatalysierte Cyclisierung zum Indolinderivat X ein. Die Bildung von VIIIa ist ein Modell für die Entstehung einer „nichtextrahierbaren Fraktion“ des Antioxidants Ia bei der Stabilisierung von Kohlenwasserstoffpolymeren.
    Notes: In connection with the investigation of the mechanism of antioxidant action of antidegradants in hydrocarbon polymers under the conditions of a relative deficiency of oxygen, scavenging of a model alkyl (1-cyano-1-methylethyl,R°) was studied with Nisopropyl-N′-phenyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (Ia)For abbreviations see p. 11. and its oxidation product, i.e. Nisopropyl-N′-phenyl-1,4-benzoquinonediimine (IIa). While pure Ia and IIa do not react with the radical R° almost at all, their mixture is able to scavenge R° effectively. The reaction is further accelerated with acids. The alkyl R° combines with the antidegradant molecule in two ways, one of which leads to the substitution at the nitrogen atom between the aromatic rings, giving rise to VIa, while the other consists in the substitution of phenylene, leading to VIIIa. The product VIa is labile, and at vulcanization temperatures it readily splits off olefin in a neutral medium, being regenerated to Ia. In the presence of acids this reaction proceeds even at lower temperatures. In the other product, i.e. in VIIIa, the alkyl R° is bound firmly, but due to the presence of the nitrile group, VIIIa is readily cyclized by the effect of acids, and an indoline derivative X is formed. The formation of VIIIa is a model of the formation of an “unextractable fraction” of antidegradant Ia in the stabilization of hydrocarbon polymers. Investigations based on the isolation of reaction products bear at the same time evidence of the possibility of regeneration of an effective antioxidant in the stabilized substrate.

    Notes: The photochemical degradation of polymers (commonly known as UV degradation) takes place in two stages: First, there is the primary process comprising the rapid formation of radicals caused by quanta of visible light; this involves the dissociation of polymer chain molecules and/or the activation of polymer chain molecules respectively of additives, colorants and impurities contained in the polymer. The secondary process consists in oxidation reactions with singulett-oxygen generated by energy-transfer and/or between the polymer radicals thus formed and adsorbed oxygen, as a result of which gradual degradation of the polymer takes place.An investigation of these individual reactions using a combination of selected physical test methods leads to an unterstanding of the entire reaction sequence involved in photo-oxidative degradation. This knowledge provides a basis for systematically improving the weather-resistance of polymers by modifying their basic polymeric structure or through the controlled use of UV absorbers, quenchers, radical interceptors and antioxidants.The physical test methods themselves are divided into two categories: techniques used for investigating the primary processes (ultra short-time spectroscopy, ESR) and those used to investigate the secondary processes (XPS, FT-IR, UV/VIS et al.).With pigmented polymers, attention is focussed on borderline cases in the use of photoactive and photoinactive pigments: as a result of “photocatalytic oxidation”, photoactive pigments (e.g. TiO2 anatase) lead to additional degradation reactions which take place at the same time as the UV degradation reaction. Photoinactive pigments (e.g. high-grade TiO2-rutile and iron oxide pigments), on the other hand, exhibit negligible or no photocatalytic oxidation and, by absorbing UV radiation, provides better protection for the polymer against UV degradation.This paper gives an overview of the above-mentioned physical methods of investigating primary and secondary photochemical processes, taking a thermoplastic material (Polycarbonate) as an example. A description is also given of the photocatalytic oxidation reations which can take place if pigmented polymers are used, and there is a discussion of the degradation-inhibiting effects of inorganic pigments.

    Notes: The aim of the present work is to predict the warehouse storage life of polyethylene low-density, polyethylene high-density and polystyrene impact-resistent, using the method of temperature-time superposition. The properties, most representative for thermal ageing, are the relative elongation at break for polyethylene and the impact resistance for polystyrene. The validity of the predicted shelf-life is verified by estimating the change of these properties under real conditions of warehouse storage.

    Notes: A commercial type of impact-resistant polystyrene was investigated. Two types of antioxidants, Irganox 245 and Irganox PS-800 were added to polystyrene in ammounts of 0,05 to 0.20%. Films, dumbbells and straight test pieces were subjected to thermal and u.v. ageing. Films of 250 μ thickness were thermally treated at 100°C and separately u.v. irradiated at 360 nm for 24, 72, 120 and 168 hours. Dumbbells and straight test pieces were only thermally aged at 100°C for 7, 14, 21, 28 and 35 days. Mechanical properties were determined. The spectra of samples were recorded using Perkin-Elmer, model 1750 FTIR and Perkin-Elmer data station 7700. Colour changes of all dumbbells were measured using Elrepho apparatus in u.v.-visible region. (Changes of the content of carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, as well as of polybutadiene (PB) unsaturation in films were recorded on i.r. spektrophotometer Perkin-Elmer 257 between 4000 and 625 cm-1 and were published in the first part of this study1).

    Description / Table of Contents: Durch gemeinsame Reaktion von Benzophenontetracarbonsäuredianhydrid, Maleinsäureanhydrid und Diaminen mit 1,3,5-Triazingruppen wurden niedermolekulare Prepolymere mit Amin-Endgruppen erhalten, die sowohl 1,3,5-Triazingruppen als auch Etherbindungen enthalten. Diese reaktiven Prepolymeren sind in niedrigsiedenden Lösemitteln wie z. B. Chloroform und Tetrahydrofuran löslich. Sie wurden durch Elementaranalyse, IR- und NMR-Spektroskopie, Dampfdruckosmometrie und Viskosimetrie charakterisiert. Beim Erhitzen der Prepolymeren auf Temperaturen zwischen 180 und 190°C tritt Kettenverlängerung durch Michael-Addition auf; gleichzeitig vernetzen sie durch Reaktion der Amin- mit den Maleimid-Endgruppen. Die vernetzten Polymeren sind thermisch stabil; ihr thermisches Verhalten wurde durch TGA, DTA und isotherme Alterung untersucht. Die Biegefestigkeit und interlaminare Scherfestigkeit von aus den Prepolymeren und Carbonfasergeweben hergestellten Laminaten wurden gemessen.
    Notes: Low molecular weight amine-terminated monomaleimide prepolymers containing 1,3,5-triazine groups as well as ether linkages were synthesized by reacting benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride, diamines having 1,3,5-triazine group and maleic anhydride. These reactive prepolymers are soluble in low boiling solvents such as chloroform, tetrahydrofuran etc. They were characterized by elemental analyses, IR and NMR spectroscopy, vapour pressure osmometry, and viscosity. On heating at 180-190°C these prepolymers undergo simultaneous chain extension by Michael addition reaction and crosslinking by mutual reaction between their amine-terminated and maleimide-terminated ends. The cured polymers are thermostable and the thermal behaviour was studied by TGA, DTA, and isothermal aging. Laminates fabricated using these prepolymers and carbon fiber as reinforcing agent were evaluated by their flexural strength and interlaminar shear strength.

    Description / Table of Contents: Ein Epoxidharz wurde durch Reaktion mit Anilin bzw. Benzylamin in unterschiedlichen molaren Verhältnissen modifiziert. Die modifizierten Harze wurden dann mit Diethylamin und anschließend mit teilblockiertem Toluylendiisocyanat umgesetzt, wobei thermisch vernetzbare Harze mit tertiären Aminen in und am Ende der Polymerkette erhalten wurden. Die partielle Ansäuerung mit Essigsäure lieferte thermisch vernetzbare kationische Harze, aus denen durch Lösen in geeigneten Lösungsmitteln und Zugabe von entionisiertem Wasser Emulsionen hergestellt wurden. Diese wurden hinsichtlich ihrer Eignung zur elektrolytischen Abscheidung untersucht und verglichen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß die Abscheidungsausbeute und das Streuvermögen der Emulsionen aus Benzylamin-modifizierten Epoxidharzen besser sind als die der Anilin-modifizierten Epoxidemulsionen. Ein hohes, vom pH-Wert der Emulsion abhängiges Streuvermögen ist für diese kationischen Harze charakteristisch.
    Notes: Aniline/benzylamine-modified epoxy resins with different molecular weights, which contain tertiary amines in the middle of the polymer chain, were synthesized by the reaction of aniline/benzylamine with epoxy resin at various molar ratios. The resulting aniline/benzylamine-modified epoxy resins were reacted with diethylamine and subsequently reacted with 2-ethylhexanol-blocked toluene diisocyanate to obtain thermally crosslinkable resins which contain tertiary amines at the end and in the middle of the polymer chain. These resins were partially neutralixed with acetic acid to give thermally crosslinkable cationic resins. The resulting cationic resins were dissolved in suitable solvents and mixed with deionized water to form various emulsions. The emulsion and electrodeposition properties of these resins were studied in some detail to compare the properties of these cationic resins. The results show that the deposition yields and throwing power of the emulsions prepared from benzylaminemodified epoxy resins are higher than those of the emulsions prepared from anilinemodified epoxy resins. The emulsion having proper pH values can give a high throwing power. High throwing power is the characteristic property of these modified cationic resins. Factors determining the throwing power and deposition yield of the emulsions were also investigated.

Esterification of these acids with methanol/sulfuric acid gives the corresponding aryl acrylic acid methyl esters in good yields. In methanolic solution these methyl esters isomerize upon irradiation (λ 280 nm). No photodimerization was observed. Kinetic data are given.

    Description / Table of Contents: Different composite materials, with retified or natural poplar and polyester resin were prepared by molding. The influence of the filler granulometry on certain physicochemical (density, humidity, hardness) or mechanical properties of the materials was studied. The density and the increase of mass in humid atmosphere were always found to be less when the wood was thermally treated. On the other hand, the hardness of the composites made from natural poplar was much higher. The mechanical properties were found to be weak when the wood was retified.When the wood was thermally treated, it was possible to optimise the three parameters, namely, density, water retention capacity and mechanical properties. The optimal granulometry of poplar was determined between 0.75 and 1.5 mm.The results obtained are discussed considering the physico-chemical properties of the different varieties of wood studied and the interactions which exist between the polar resin and the wood.
    Notes: Divers matériaux composites à base de peuplier rétifié ou naturel et de résine polyester insaturée ont été préparés par moulage. L'influence de la granulométrie de la charge a été étudiée sur quelques propriétés physico-chimiques (densité, reprise d'humidité, dureté) ou mécaniques des matériaux obtenus. La densité et la reprise de masse en milieu humide sont toujours plus faibles si la charge est traitée thermiquement sous atmosphère inerte. Par contre, la dureté des composites issus du peuplier naturel est plus importante. Les propriétés mécaniques sont inférieures si la charge est rétifitée.Si la charge lignocellulosique est traitée thermiquement, il est possible d'optimiser les trois paramètres: densité, reprise d'eau et propriétés mécaniques; la granulométrie optimale du peuplier est ainsi comprise entre 0,75 et 1,5 mm.Les résultats obtenus sont expliqués en tenant compte des propriétés physico-chimiques des charges et des interactions existant entre la résine polaire et le bois.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht das Wasserdurchlässigkeitsverhalten von vier Arten verschieden modifizierter Chitosanmembranen zur Abtrennung von Wasser aus wäßrigen Ethanolmischungen. Chitosan wurde aus Chitin von Krebstierschalen durch Verseifung (Deacetylierung) gewonnen. Die in dieser Arbeit untersuchten modifizierten Chitosanmembranen enthielten Carboxymethyl-, Carboxyethyl-, Cyanethyl- und Amidoxim-Chitosan. Die Einführung hydrophiler funktioneller Gruppen in der 6-O Position des Chitosans erhöht die Selektivität der modifizierten Membranen im Vergleich zu den mit Essigsäure komplexierten Chitosanmembranen. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, daß Chitosanmembranen, die Carboxygruppen enthalten, die höchste Wasserdampfdurchlässigkeit aufweisen. Carboxymethyl-Chitosanmembranen zeigen eine maximale Quellung und den höchsten Ethanoldurchfluß bei einer Ethanolkonzentration von ca. 15 Gew.-% im Zulauf aufgrund von Bindungs- und Weichmachereffekten.
    Notes: The present study investigates the pervaporation performance of four kinds of modified chitosan membranes to separate water from aqueous ethanol solution. Chitosan was prepared from chitin abstracted from the crab shell and subsequently deacetylated with aqueous NaOH solution. Modified chitosan membranes examined in this study include carboxymethyl chitosan, carboxyethyl chitosan, cyanoethyl chitosan, and amidoxime chitosan. The incorporation of hydrophilic functional groups into the 6-O position of chitosan enhances the selectivity of modified chitosan membrane compared to the previously reported chitosan-acetic acid complex membrane. Among the modified chitosan membranes, membranes containing carboxy groups show the best pervaporation performance. Carboxymethyl chitosan membranes show the maximum swelling and ethanol flux at approx. 15 wt.-% feed ethanol concentration due to the coupling and plasticizing effect.

    Description / Table of Contents: The tensile properties of self reinforced poly(propylene)/poly(1-butene) composites, obtained by rapid extension of the melt, have been measured and correlated to morphological parameters derived from x-ray experiments. Critical fiber lengths as a function of sample composition and the elastic modulus and yield stress of the fibers could be determined. It is shown, that, applying a load to the system, the forces are fully taken up by the fibers and the system breaks by fail of the fibers. The longitudinal structure of the fibers is found to be independent of sample composition.
    Notes: Mechanische Parameter wie Elastizitätsmodul, Fliß- und Bruchspannung von aus der hochorientierten Schmelze hergestellten nadelkristallinen Mischungen aus Poly(propylen) und Poly(1-bute) wurden mit morphologischen Parametern, die aus Röntgenmessungen abgeleitet wurden, korreliert. Es wird gezeigt, daß der Elastizitätsmodul des Verbundes aus den E-Moduln der Fasern und der Matrix berechnet werden kann (Mischungsregel). Die an der Probe angreifenden Kräfte werden voll auf die Fasern übertragen; der Verbund kann daher als eigenfaserverstärktes System angesehen werden. Die Abschätzung der kritischen Faserlänge ergibt, daß die Festigkeit der FAsern voll ausgenutzt wird; der Bruch des Systems bei Belastung ist daher auf das Versagen der Fasern zurückzuführen. Das mechanische Verhalten des Verbundes wird stark beeinflußt durch die Komponentenzusammensetzung. Die longitudinale Struktur der Nadeln beider Komponenten bleibt unbeeinflußt von der jeweiligen Co-Komponente.

The main parameters of the reaction that influence the polymer properties are: DMA/asymmetrical diamine molar ratio, the initial concentration of amine solution, NaOH/amine molar ratio, ECH/amine molar ratio, and asymmetrical diamine structure. The feature of flexible polyelectrolyte own to the investigated polymers was emphasized by the viscosimetric behaviour in dilute aqueous solutions with and without salt presence.

    Notes: Current-voltage characteristics of polycarbonate samples (PC) have been studied in the voltage range 50-1000 V. The effect of UV-irradiation at λ = 225 and 300 nm, and thermal annealing on the electrical conductivity (σ) of PC was studied. The σ vs. 1/T relationship shows two slopes, i.e. two possible conduction mechanisms. The obtained results made it possible to determine a complete set of conduction parameters including activation energy and jump distance.

Als Verdünner wurden Mischungen von Toluol oder Cyclohexanol (90 Vo1.-%) mit Hexadecan, Octan, Dodecan, 2-Ethylhexanol oder Benzylalkohol (jeweils 10 Vo1.-%) verwendet.Die Porosität der AN-VA-DVB-Terpolymeren ist mit 0,61-0,68 größer als die der entsprechenden AN-DVB-Copolymeren. Die übermolekulare Struktur der Terpolymeren hängt vom verwendeten Verdünner ab, obwohl sich die Porositäten nicht sehr voneinander unterscheiden. Die beim Erhitzen der Terpolymeren auf Temperaturen über 200°C auftretenden thermischen Effekte sind signifikant größer als die bei der Cyclisierung von AN-Polymeren gemessenen.
    Notes: Terpolymers of acrylonitrile (AN), vinyl acetate (VA) (7.5-30 mol-%, related to AN), and divinylbenzene (DVB) (10 wt.-%) were prepared by suspension polymerization. The diluents used were mixtures of toluene or cyclohexanol (90 vol.-%) with solvents (10 vol.-%) such as hexadecane (HD), octane (O), dodecane (D), 2-ethylhexanol (E) or benzyl alcohol (B).It has been found that AN-VA-DVB terpolymers have a higher porosity, about 0.61-0.68, than corresponding AN-DVB copolymers. The terpolymers obtained with mixtures of various diluents differ in their supermolecular structure although they had similar porosity characteristics.The thermal effects accompanying heating of the terpolymers above 200°C significantly exceed that of nitrile groups cyclization observed of the other AN polymers.

    Description / Table of Contents: Es wird ein allgemeines numerisches Verfahren vorgestellt, um die Modifikation der Grundgleichung für hydrodynamische Schmierung, die von mit Polymeren versetzten Schmierölen mit scherabhängiger Viskosität erbracht wird, zu berechnen.Das Verfahren basiert auf dem verallgemeinerten Newtonschen Fileßmodell und erlaubt, alle Fileßregionen zwischen dem rein Newtonschen und dem Exponentialgesetzverhalten kontinuierlich zu behandeln. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, daß der Einfluß der scherspannungsabhängigen Viskosität durch eine dimensionslose Zahl vollkommen charakterisiert wird, nämlich U · τ*/h*, wobei U die relative Gleitgeschwindigkeit, h* die charakteristische Filmdicke und τ* die Relaxationszeit des Schmieröles darstellen.Als praktisches Beispiel wird die Anwendung des Verfahrens aufgezeigt, um den Einfluß des Molekulargewichts und der Konzentration der Polymerkomponente des Schmieröls auf die hydrodynamische Schmierung zu bestimmen. Dieser Einfluß ist durch die starke Beziehung zwischen Polymereigenschaften und τ* verursacht.
    Notes: A general numerical procedure is presented to calculate the modification of the basic equation for hydrodynamic lubrication brought about by the use of polymeric fluids with shear depending viscosity. The procedure is based on the generalized Newtonian fluid model and allows to treat continuously all the flow regions between the pure Newtonian and the power law behavior. The results show that the influence of the viscosity depending on shear stress is completely characterized by one dimensionless number, namely U.·τ*/h*, where U is the relative sliding velocity, h* is the characteristic film thickness, and τ* is a characteristic time of the lubricant. The procedure is exemplified by applying it for the determination of the influence of the molecular weight and concentration of the polymeric component of the lubricant on the hydrodynamic lubrication. This influence is brought about by the strong relation between the polymer properties and τ*.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die Morphologien von spritzgegossenem und formgepreßtem Poly(1-buten) (PB-1) wurden im Polarisationsmikroskop und im Transmissionselektronenmikroskop untersucht. Eine dünne Oberflächenhaut und bis in den Kern der Probekörper reichende abgeplattet-sphärolithische Strukturen werden bei spritzgegossenem PB-1 beobachtet, während in formgepreßtem PB-1 typische Sphärolithe vorliegen. Das Bruchbild des spritzgegossenen PB-1 zeigt unter der Oberflächenhaut viele aufgereihte streifenartige Hohlräume, die senkrecht zur Spritzrichtung zur Mitte des Probekörpers wachsen. Aus diesen Beobachtungen kann geschlossen werden, daß eine beim Spritzgießen durch den Schmelzefluß induzierte Scherspannung nicht nur die Entstehung der Oberflächenhaut verursacht, sondern auch bis in die Mitte des Probekörpers hinein die Bildung abgeplatteter Sphärolithe bewirkt. Diese abgeplattet-sphärolithischen Strukturen sind für die beim Dehnen des spritzgegossenen PB-1 entstehenden, streifenartigen Hohlräume verantwortlich, während die Oberflächenhaut und die abgeplatteten Sphärolithe im Kern die Sprödigkeit und die im Vergleich zu formgepreßtem PB-1 geringere Bruchdehnung bewirken. Diese kann durch Tempern oberhalb des Schmelzpunktes erhöht werden.
    Notes: The injection-molded poly(1-butene) (PB-1) is found to be more brittle than the compression-molded PB-1. The morphologies of these specimens are examined by use of polarized optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). A skin layer and an oblate spherulitic structure extended to the core region are observed in the injection-molded PB-1, while typical spherulites exist in the compression-molded PB-1. Below the skin layer of the injection-molded PB-1, the fracture surface is found to consist of many aligned strip-like voids with ribbon edges propagating to the center of the specimen and perpendicular to the flow direction of injection-molding. Based on these observations, it can be inferred that shear stress induced by the melt flow during the injection-molding does not only cause the formation of skin layer, but also penetrates deeply into the central region of the injection-molded specimen causing the formation of oblate spherulites. The oblate spherulitic structure is responsible for the aligned voids during elongation of PB-1, while the existence of the skin layer and the oblate spherulites in core region is responsible for the brittleness of the injection-molded PB-1. The elongation of the injection-molded PB-1 is found to be lower than that of the compression-molded. This can be attributed not only to the presence of the skin layer but also to the oblate spherulites in the core region. The elongation can be improved by annealing at a temperature above the melting point of PB-1.

    Description / Table of Contents: The influence of linearly and circularly polarized light on the state of order of nematic dye-copolymers is investigated. For a nematic model system we have shown that the optical axis of these systems can be reorientated with linearly polarized light in a well defined manner. Furthermore these investigations prove that the isomerisation cycles of the azo dye is responsible for the described properties. By selection of circularly polarized light the same transmission behaviour as shown by selectively reflecting materials, i. e. cholesteric liquid crystals, was observed.
    Notes: Untersucht wird der Einfluß von linear und zirkular polarisiertem Licht auf den Ordnungszustand von nematischen Farbstoff- Copolymeren. Am Beispiel eines Modellsystems wird gezeigt, daß mit linear polarisiertem Licht die optische Vorzugsachse dieser Systeme gezielt reorientiert werden kann. Die Untersuchungen zeigen, daß der Isomerisierungszyklus des Azofarbstoffes für diese Eigenschaft des Materials verantwortlich ist Nach Bestrahlen der Probe mit zirkular polarisiertem Licht wird für das Polymere das gleiche Transmissionsverhalten beobachtet. Wie es auch selektivreflektierende Materialien, z. B. cholesterische Flüssigkristalle, aufweisen.

    Notes: Charge carrier transport properties of organic polymers can vary over a wide range. The paper shows that the electron- and hole mobilities of polymers with pendant photoconductive groups (i. e. carbazole) are on the order of 10-6 cm2/Vs. In these materials the flow of electronic charge is maintained by the overlap of the π-orbitals of the pendant molecular groups. The large variation of this short-range interaction, depending on the local configurations encountered in polymer glasses, leads to a large variation of hopping probabilities and, hence, to wide rate-distributions. These distributions are reflected in the slow algebraic decay characteristics of the observed photocurrents. The typical time exponents α (α 〈 1) are shown to carry a great deal of physical information, if the dynamical range of the experiments is sufficiently large. The paper also refers to quasi-conjugated polymers (polysilanes) whose dynamic transport parameters are about 103 times better (faster) as compared to polymers with pendant groups. These new materials open interesting aspects for the development of new polymeric materials with better transport parameters and, hence, shorter 'switching times'.

    Description / Table of Contents: In der Arbeit wurde die homogene Polyaddition von Pyromellitsäuredianhydrid und 4,4′-Diaminodiphenylmethan untersucht. Die Abhängigkeit des zahlenmittleren Molekulargewichts (M̄n) von der Zeit weist ein Maximum auf. Die Ursache der niedrigen Gleichgewichtswerte von M̄n beruht auf einer durch Wasserspuren im Lösungsmittel verursachten Dianhydridhydrolyse und damit einer gestörten Äquimolarität der funktionellen Gruppen. Im Laufe der Stabilisierung des M̄n-Gleichgewichtswertes entsteht auch die wahrscheinlichste Molmassenverteilung.
    Notes: The homogeneous polyaddition reaction of pyromellitic dianhydride with 4,4′-diaminodiphenylmethane was investigated. The dependence of the number average molecular weights on time has a maximum; low equilibrium values of M̄n are caused by a disturbed equimolarity of functional groups due to the hydrolysis of dianhydride with water present in the solvent. In the course of establishment of the equilibrium M̄n value, the molecular weight distribution changes to the most probable value.

    Description / Table of Contents: Das Phasen- und Mischbarkeitsverhalten der binären und ternären Polymermischungen von Polyarylat (PAR), Phenoxid und Poly(butylenterephthalat) (PBT) wurde untersucht. Die Mischungen wurden durch Ausfällen aus gemeinsamen Lösungen hergestellt, und die Mischbarkeit wurde durch DSC-Messungen und Transparenz der Schmelze beurteilt. Im Falle der binären Blends zeigten PAR/PBT und Phenoxid/PBT Mischbarkeit, während sich PAR/Phenoxid nicht mischen ließ. Die Mischbarkeitstendenz der unmischbaren PAR/Phenoxid-Mischungen konnte jedoch durch Zugabe von PBT erhöht werden; eine ausreichende Menge PBT machte die ternären Mischungen mischbar, so daß diese eine einzige Tg in der DSC-Kurve zeigten. Im ternären Phasendiagramm war das Maximum der Mischbarkeitsgrenze in Richtung auf die Phenoxidseite hin verschoben, was auf die bessere Mischbarkeit von PAR/PBT im Vergleich zu Phenoxid/PBT zurückgeführt wird.
    Notes: The phase and miscibility behavior of binary and ternary blends containing polyarylate (PAR), polyhydroxyether of bisphenol AIUPAC: poly[oxy(2-hydroxytrimethylene)oxy-1,4-phenylene-isopropylidene-1,4-phenylene]. (Phenoxy), and poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT) were studied. The blends were prepared by solution-precipitation method and miscibility was examined by DSC and melt transparency. In binary blends, PAR/PBT and Phenoxy/PBT blends show miscibility, while PAR/Phenoxy appeared to be immiscible. However, the miscibility of incompatible PAR/Phenoxy blend was enhanced by addition of PBT. The addition of sufficient amount of PBT caused the ternary blend to have a single glass transition temperature. The shape of miscibility boundary of ternary blend was skewed to the apex of Phenoxy, which was attributed to the better miscibility of PAR/PBT than that of Phenoxy/PBT.

Der Einfluß verschiedener Reaktionsparameter, wie Reaktionstemperatur und -zeit, auf die inhärente Viskosität (ηinh) und auf die Anzahl der Carboxy-und Hydroxy-Endgruppen wurde untersucht. Aus den Messungen von ηinh wurde eine empirische Gleichung erstellt, die die Berechnung von M̄n der PET-Folien nach der Festphasen-Polykondensation bei gegebener Zeit und Temperatur erlaubt.

The effect of various reaction parameters such as reaction temperature and time on inherent viscosity (ηinh) and number of carboxy and hydroxy end-groups has been investigated. From ηinh measurements an empirical equation was taken which allows the calculation of (M̄n) of PET film after solid-state polycondensation at a certain temperature and time. The melting behaviour of the solid-state polycondensated samples was also studied.

    Description / Table of Contents: Sphärische makroporöse Partikel, die als Trägermaterialen für verschiedene Säulen-Operationen eingesetzt werden sollen, wurden mittels Suspensions- und Mikrosuspensionspolymerisation von Trimethylolpropan-trimethacrylat (TRIM) in Gegenwart verschiedener Mengen porogener Reagenzien (Toluol bzw. Mischungen von Toluol und Isooktan) hergestellt. Textur und Eigenschaften der Partikel variierten deutlich mit dem Anteil und der Zusammensetzung des porogenen Reagens und wurden zusätzlich durch die Wahl des Suspensionstabilisators beeinflußt. Die makroporösen Partikel wiesen ein Gesamtporenvolumen von 0,4 bis 3,6 cm3/g und eine spezifische Oberfläche von 7 bis 〉 450 m2/g auf. Alle Partikel enthielten Makroporen und, außer den Teilchen mit sehr niedriger spezifischer Oberfläche, einen gewissen Anteil an Mikroporen (Durchmesser 〈 60 Å). Durch Erniedrigung der Monomerkonzentration und Erhöhung des Isooktan-Gehaltes im porogenen Reagens auf 50 Gew.-% konnte das Auftreten von Mikroporen vollständig unterdrückt werden. Das Erhöhen des Isooktan-Gehaltes führte zu einem vergrößerten Gesamtporenvolumen und zu einem verringerten Quellvermögen der Polymermatrix in Toluol. Der Einfluß einer Hitzebehandlung bei 130°C und eines Aufpfropfens von Polymethylmethacrylat auf die Partikeleigenschaften wurde ebenfalls untersucht.Die Menge an nicht umgesetzten Doppelbindungen in den Partikeln konnte durch Variation der Polymerisationstemperatur verändert werden. Das Vorhandensein leicht zugänglicher Doppelbindungen ist wichtig, da sie zur Funktionalisierung der festen makroporösen Partikel verwendet werden können.
    Notes: Spherical macroporous particles, intended for use as carrier particles in various types of column operations, were prepared by suspension and microsuspension polymerization of trimethylolpropane trimethacrylate (TRIM), in the presence of various amounts of porogenic agents (toluene or mixtures of toluene and isooctane). The texture and properties of the particles varied markedly with the amount and composition of the porogenic agent, and were also affected by the choice of suspension stabilizer. Macroporous particles were prepared, ranging in total pore volume from 0.4 to 3.6 cm3/g, and in specific surface area from 7 to 〉450 m2/g. All of the particles contained macropores, and except for those with very low specific surface area, contained a certain fraction of micropores (diameter 〈60 Å). The presence of micropores could be eliminated completely by decreasing the monomer concentration and increasing the isooctane content of the porogenic agent to 50 wt.-%. Increasing the isooctane content also resulted in an increase in the total pore volume and a decrease in the tendency of the polymer matrix to swell in toluene. The effect on properties of particles by heat treatment at 130°C and by grafting poly(methyl methacrylate) onto the particles was also studied.The amount of unreacted double bonds of the particles could be varied by varying the polymerization temperature. The presence of easily accessible double bonds is important as they can be utilized for functionalization of the rigid macroporous particles.

    Description / Table of Contents: PE und EPDM-Kautschuk wurden durch Aufpfropfen von Dibutylmaleat (DBM) mit Dicumylperoxid (DCP) als Initiator in Substanz im Temperaturbereich von 140-220°C funktionalisiert. Der Pfropfungsgrad wurde IR-spektroskopisch und durch DSC-Messungen ermittelt. Die für die Pfropfung optimalen DBM- und DCP-Konzentrationen betragen 0,5 bzw. 0,2 Gew.-%. Die Kinetik der Pfropfreaktion ist für PE und EPDM vergleichbar; die Aktivierungsenergien betragen ca. 145 bzw. 130 kJ/mol. Die Pfropfungsgrade sind für PE höher als für EPDM; bei PE/EPDM-Blends steigt der Pfropfungsgrad mit zunehmendem PE-Anteil. Ein Pfropfungsmechanismus, der Nebenreaktionen berucksichtigt, wird vorgeschlagen.
    Notes: Functionalization of polyethylene (PE) and ethylene propylene diene terpolymer (EPDM) in the bulk through dicumyl peroxide (DCP) initiated grafting of dibutyl maleate (DBM) has been studied in the temperature range from 140 to 200°C. The degree of grafting has been determined by infrared spectrophotometry and DSC. The concentration of DBM and DCP has been optimized. 0.5 wt.-% and 0.2 wt.-% DCP for PE and EPDM, respectively, and 10% DBM for both have been found to be the optimum. The kinetics of the grafting reaction is comparable for PE and EPDM. The activation energy of grafting is ca. 145 kJ/mol for PE and ca. 130 kJ/mol for EPDM. The influence of structure of polyolefins on the degree of grafting has also been studied. A higher degree of grafting is obtained for PE than for EPDM. For PE/EPDM blends, the degree of grafting increases with increasing PE content in the blends. A through discussion and proposed mechanism for grafting and other competitive secondary reactions has been provided.

    Description / Table of Contents: Die dynamisch-mechanischen Eigenschaften von gehärteten Epoxidharzen, gefüllt mit porösen Siliciumdioxid-Mikrokugeln mit unterschiedlichen spezifischen Oberflächen, Porenradien, Porenvolumina und adsorbierter Wassermenge, wurde untersucht. Die Glasubergangstemperaturten (Tg) der Composite sind 12-14°C niedriger als die des ungefullten Harzes, was auf die bevorzugte Adsorption von Härter an den porösen Mikrokugeln zurückgeführt wird. Mit zunehmender adsorbierter Wassermenge steigt die Tg der Composite an. Der Speichermodul ist mit der mit Quecksilber bestimmten spezifischen Oberfläche (Hg-Oberfläche) der Mikrokugeln, die der Summe der Oberfläche von Poren mit einem Durchmesser größer als 4 nm entspricht, korreliert.Das Verbältnis tan δc/tan δm nimmt mit zunehmender Hg-Oberfläche ab.
    Notes: Dynamic mechanical properties were studied for epoxy resin filled with porous silica microballoons with varying surface area, pore radius, pore volume and adsorbed water. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the composites is 12-14°C lower than the Tg of the unfilled epoxy resin. This Tg depression is attributed to the preferential adsorption of curing agents on the porous silica microballoons. Tg of the composite increases with increase in the adsorbed water on fillers. The storage modulus has a distinct correlation with the Hg-surface area of silica microballoons, which corresponds to the sum of the surface area of pores with radii larger than about 4 nm.Tan δc tan δm decreases with increasing Hg-surface area.

    Description / Table of Contents: Membranen aus Blends von Nylon 6 mit Poly(acrylsäure) (PAA) mit PAA-Gehalten zwischen 25 und 45 Gew.-% wurden durch Filmgießen hergestellt und anschließend durch Eintauchen in eine Aluminiumsalzlösung ionisch vernetzt. Die Glasübergangstemperaturen (Tg) der Membranen wurden mit der DSC-Methode bestimmt. Alle Proben zeigen eine einzige Tg oberhalb der Tg der Homopolymeren, die sich mit zunehmender Scanzeit verschiebt; dies wird auf die Eliminierung von Wasser und die Bildung von Anhydriden im nicht vernetzten PAA-Anteil zurückgeführt.Die Morphologie wurde rasterelektronenmikroskopisch untersucht; die Membranen zeigen eine dichte, porenfreie Struktur ohne Phasenseparation, was auf eine völlige Mischbarkeit der beiden Homopolymeren im untersuchten Zusammensensetzungsbereich schließen läßt. Die Festigkeit der Membranen liegt je nach PAA-Gehalt zwischen 5 und 26 MPa; Membranen mit hohem PAA-Anteil zeigen trotz höherer Vernetzungsdichte eine geringere Zugfestigkeit, was mit der geringen Festigkeit von PAA und der mit größerem PAA-Anteil zunehmenden Quellung zusammenhängt. Letztere wurde durch Messen der Wasseraufnahme trockener Membranen bestimmt; sie steigt von 23,6 Gew.-% bei einem PAA-Gehalt von 25 auf 76,3 Gew.-% bei einem PAA-Gehalt von 45 Gew.-%.
    Notes: Ionically crosslinked blended membranes were prepared from blends of nylon 6 and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) with the proportion of PAA ranging from 25 to 45 wt.-%. The technique consists of casting a film of the blend, followed by drying and immersion in an aluminum salt crosslinking solution for a predetermined time. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the membranes was determined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). All the samples exhibited a single Tg, which is higher than that of either polymer. There is also a shift in the Tg with increasing scanning time. This phenomenon is attributed to the elimination of water molecules and the formation of anhydrides in the non-crosslinked PAA portion of the membrane. The membrane morphology was studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and shows a dense structure without any pores. No phase separation is observed by scanning cross-sections of the samples, indicating that nylon 6 and PAA are completely miscible in the ranges studied. The membrane material strength lies in the range of 5 to 26 MPa and varies with the amount of PAA in the membrane. Samples with higher PAA content show lower tensile strength in spite of increased crosslinking density. This is due to the inherent low strength of PAA, coupled with increasing swelling of the membrane with increasing PAA content. The latter is confirmed by the measurement of water uptake into a dry membrane which increases from 23.6% to 76.3% with the membrane PAA content increasing from 25 to 45 wt.%.

    Description / Table of Contents: Due to the very strong variation of the viscosity of the reaction mass with increasing monomer conversion, three stationary states for the tubes of a multitubular system with cooling vessel can be found. As a consequence, a maldistribution of the fluid arises, so that the reactor stability and the polymer quality are negatively influenced. The recycling of the reaction mass is a helpful method to increase the reactor stability. In this paper some fundamental aspects of the use of multitubular reactors for the polymerization of styrene are studied.
    Notes: Infolge der sich mit steigendem Monomerumsatz stark verändernden Viskosität der Reaktionsmasse existieren im Multirohrreaktor mit Kühlung mindestens drei stationaäre Punkte bezüglich des Einzelrohrmassenstromes gleichzeitig. Als Konsequenz ergibt sich eine Ungleichverteilung der Rohrbelastung, die sowohl die Reaktorstabilität als auch die Polymerqualität negativ beeinflußt. Das Betreiben einer Rückführung kann das Reaktorverhalten stabilisieren. In der vorgelegten Arbeit werden einige fundamentale Aspekte der Anwendung von Multirohrreaktoren für die Massepolymerisation von Styrol untersucht.

    Notes: The IR data for the R1 CO-O-CHR2-CO-NHR3 derivatives are interpreted in terms of a H…π interaction involving the N—H bond and the π orbitals of the ester function and giving rise to a high ν(C=O) frequency and a low ν frequency. The resulting molecular conformation corresponds to the angular values φ # -90°, ψ # 0°. The H…π interaction in MeCO-L-Lac-NHMe is highly destabilized by water and aprotic solvents but is retained in methanol. Considering the high ν(C=O) ester or amide frequency of the middle function in β-folded depsipeptide or peptide sequences, it may be supposed that the residue indexed i + 2 in β turns experiences a H…π interaction which has a stabilizing effect on β turns. Some examples concerning valinomycin and some model compounds are discussed.

    Notes: The difference between the theories of Manning, on the one hand, and of Odijk and Skolnick and Fixman, on the other, for the polyelectrolyte contribution to the persistence length of DNA is shown to arise entirely from a subtle geometrical error in the theory of Manning. The corrected theory of Manning predicts a negligible polyelectrolyte contribution in 1.0M NaCl and only 33 Å in 0.01M NaCl, thus giving a change in total persistence length by a factor of only 1.07 over that range, in agreement with Odijk. Pertinent data in the literature indicate that the persistence length must change by a factor of ≤ 1.6 between 1.0 and 0.01M NaCl, and very likely by less than a factor of 1.4. Evidently, the intrinsic rigidity of the uncharged double-strand filament dominates the bending rigidity at NaCl concentrations above 0.01M.

    Notes: The crystal structures of L-3,4-dehydroproline, t-butoxycarbonyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide, and acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide have been determined. L-3,4-Dehydroproline is orthorhombic with a = 16.756, b = 5.870, c = 5.275 Å, and Z = 4; t-butoxycarbonyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide is orthorhombic with a = 6.448, b = 8.602, c = 21.710 Å, and Z = 4; acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide is monoclinic with a = 4.788, b = 10.880, c = 7.785 Å, β = 105.25°, and Z = 2. The final R value for the L-3,4-dehydroproline is 0.046 based on 529 reflections; for t-butoxycarbonyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide, 0.050 based on 792 reflections; and for acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide, 0.058 based on 632 reflections. The structures clearly establish that the free amino acid exists in the zwitterionic form in the crystalline state. The molecular conformations of the t-Boc and acetyl derivatives consist of two planes: one involving the primary amide and the other the remaining atoms of the molecule. The acetyl-L-3,4-dehydroproline amide contains a tertiary amide bond in the cis conformation. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example of a cis bond in an acetyl derivative of an amino acid or peptide. At variance with the previously reported proline amides, which present φ and ψ values corresponding to those of a right-handed α-helical conformation (conformation A), the t-Boc and acetyl derivatives both have φ and ψ values corresponding to a collagenlike conformation (conformation F).

    Notes: The structure of thermally denatured Type I collagen has been studied using laser light scattering. The results indicate that the diffusion coefficients of α-chains and β- and γ-components are 1.550 ± 0.08 × 10-7, 1.000 ± 0.05 × 10-7, and 0.835 ± 0.04 × 10-7 cm2/sec, respectively, at temperatures between 20 and 40°C. It is concluded from diffusion data that these species have hydrodynamic radii of about 13.8 nm (α-chain), 21.5 nm (β-component), and 25.7 nm (γ-component), consistent with previous studies of thermal denaturation by light scattering. It is also concluded, based on volume calculations, that a large volume increase occurs when the triple helix unfolds. Homodyne correlation functions for two component mixtures of α-chains and β-and γ-components appeared to decay exponentially. In all but one case discussed the correlation function could be fitted with a single component having a translational diffusion coefficient which was an intensity weighted average of the diffusion coefficient of each component present.

    Notes: Circular dichroic spectra and oscillator strengths of the π-π transition near 190 nm are calculated for helical (Gly)6 and (Ala)6 at 30° intervals of the backbone torsion angles (φ,ψ) over the range -180° ≤ φ ≤ -60°, -60° ≤ ψ ≤ 180°, using the partially dispersive normal mode treatment of the dipole interaction model. Polarizabilities of atoms and the NC′O group are those determined semiempirically in previous studies. Calculations for (Ala)6 at (φ,ψ) angles corresponding to the α-helix, the poly(Pro) II helix, a collagen single helix, a poly-(MeAla) helix, and single β-helices are found to agree well with most of the available experimental data.

    Notes: The interaction of the fluorinated antimalarial drug fluoroquine [7-fluoro-4-(diethyl-amino-1-methylbutylamino)quinoline] with DNA, tRNA, and poly(A) has been investigated by optical absorption, fluorescence, and 19F-nmr chemical-shift and relaxation methods. Optical absorption and fluorescence experiments indicate that fluoroquine binds to nucleic acids in a similar manner to that of its well-known analog chloroquine. At low drug-to-base pair ratios, binding of both drugs appears to be random. Fluoroquine and chloroquine also elevate the melting temperature (Tm) of DNA to a comparable extent. Binding of fluoroquine to DNA, tRNA, or poly(A) results in a downfield shift of about 1.5 ppm for the 19F-nmr resonance. The chemical shift of free fluoroquine depends on the isotopic composition of the solvent (D2O vs H2O). The solvent isotope shift is virtually eliminated by fluoroquine binding to any one of the nucleic acids. 19F-nmr relaxation experiments were carried out to measure the spin-lattice relaxation time (T1), 19F{1H} nuclear Overhauser effect (NOE), off-resonance intensity ratio (R), off-resonance rotating-frame spin-lattice relaxation time (T1ρoff), and linewidth for fluoroquine in the nucleic acid complexes. By accounting for intramolecular proton-fluorine dipolar and chemical-shift anisotropy contributions to the fluorine relaxation, all of the relaxation parameters for the fluoroquine-DNA complex can be well described by a motional model incorporating long-range DNA bending on the order of a microsecond and an internal motion of the drug on the order of a nanosecond. Selective NOE experiments indicate that the fluorine in the drug is near the ribose protons in the RNA complexes, but not in the DNA complex. Details of the binding evidently differ for the two types of nucleic acids. This study provides the foundation for an investigation of fluoroquine in intact cells.

    Notes: In carbonate buffer at pH 10.5, a transparent solution of poly(L-lysine HBr) was obtained up to fairly high concentration of 3 g/dl at room temperature. The hydrodynamic behavior of the solution has been studied by sedimentation analyses and viscosity measurements. A dimer form for high concentrations and a monomer form for low concentrations were inferred. The dimer and monomer forms were assigned to a β-structure and α-helix, respectively, based on the CD and optical rotary dispersion spectra. Using CD spectroscopy, a reversible transition between α-helix and β-structure was observed as a function of either poly(L-lysine HBr) concentration or temperature. An aggregated form which was assigned to the antiparallel pleated sheet appeared at 50°C on the basis of its ir spectrum.

    Notes: Observations of induced circular dichroism (CD) bands in chloroform solution demonstrate the formation of specific, asymmetric complexes of the aromatic ligands 2-pyridone and 2,6-dichlorobenzoic acid with cyclic dipeptides of the general formula cyclo(L-Pro-X). The induced CD changes sign with the configuration of X due to subtle influences of the side chain on the geometry of the complex. Computations of interaction energies suggest that a plausible model for the complex of an aromatic ligand with the -CONH- of the cis secondary amide is a nearly planar arrangement of six heavy atoms in a ring containing two hydrogen bonds. The observed CD is matched by that computed for a tilt of the aromatic ligand toward the side chain of X. Binding constants were determined from the induced CD as a function of ligand concentration. For dichlorobenzoic acid these are about 450m-1 for the secondary amide and 50m-1 for the tertiary amide. For pyridone the binding constant is about 45m-1 for either the secondary or tertiary amide. For comparison self-dimerization constants determined by vapor-pressure osmometry in chloroform solution at 25°C are 870, 350, 50, and 20m-1 for pyridone, benzoic acid, dichlorobenzoic acid, and cyclo(L-Pro-Gly), respectively.

    Notes: Proton and phosphorus nmr have been used to investigate the double-helical structures of polyriboadenylic acid [poly(A)] formed in acidic solutions (pH 〈 6). The results obtained at low pH (∼4.5) are consistent with the model for the acid poly(A) double helix proposed by Rich [Rich, A., Davies, D. R., Crick, F. H. C. & Watson, J. D. (1961) J. Mol. Biol. 3, 71-86]. Other models that have been proposed are inconsistent with the nmr data. The nmr measurements have also been used to examine the conformation of poly(A) helix in the half-protonated state. Although the base-stacking arrangement of this state is similar to that observed in the more extensively protonated low-pH state, the phosphate backbone conformation is different from that found in either the neutral or low-pH structures.

    Notes: We studied the effects of some organic cosolvents (monohydric alcohols and amides) on the reaction of hemoglobin with oxygen. We present evidence showing that our data can be analyzed within the framework of the Monod-Wyman-Changeux model and that the main effect of cosolvents is to alter the T ⇄ R conformational equilibrium of hemoglobin, without significantly affecting the intrinsic oxygen dissociation constants. Following a previously described phenomenological approach, the overall effects have been separated into effects related to the variation of the bulk dielectric constant of the solvent and effects not related to the variation of this constant.

    Notes: The spectroscopic properties (uv, CD, nmr) of histidine, glycylhistidine, histidylglycine, glycylhistidylglycine have been investigated in water and methanol in the temperature range 200-320 K in order to obtain information about their conformational equilibria. This analysis has been carried out for the different ionic forms of the compounds, in order to evaluate the influence of the ionization state of the carboxyl, histidyl, and amino groups on the rotamer distribution of the histidyl side chain (as evaluated from proton nmr analysis) and on the overall molecule (as judged from CD spectra). On the basis of certain approximations and from the temperature dependence of the proton nmr resonance, the thermodynamic parameters (ΔH° and ΔS°) characterizing the conformational equilibrium of the hystidyl side chain have been evaluated for the different structures and ionization states. Relatively large entropy differences between the rotamers are obtained in some cases. The data of the sidechain rotamer population, as determined by nmr, have been analytically correlated with the CD data, and in the case of hystidine and histidylglycine in basic solution, first-approximation values for the ellipticity of the single conformers have been evaluated. Finally, in the example of glycylhistidine and histidylglycine in basic solution, it is shown how the data obtained from the different experimental approaches (nmr and CD), as well as from theoretical energy calculations, converge to characterize the most stable conformation in solution.

    Notes: Photon-correlation spectroscopy is a powerful technique for measuring the translational diffusion coefficient of particles and macromolecules in solution. In the study described here, this technique was used to analyze a specific dimerization process involving the association of two tRNA molecules through complementary anticodons. The tRNAs used in the analysis were E. coli tRNA2Glu and yeast tRNAPhe. The experimental data on the concentration dependence of the observed diffusion constants are shown to agree well with theoretical predictions. From these data, the equilibrium constant of the association reaction was determined for dimers formed over a wide range of temperatures and in several different solution conditions. In solutions of 0.1M ionic strength at 22°C, the equilibrium constants vary from 1 × 105M-1 in the absence of magnesium to 1.5 × 106M-1 in 10 mM Mg+2. The enthalpy and entropy changes for dimer formation in the absence and presence, 5 and 10 mM, of magnesium have been obtained from the temperature dependence of the equilibrium constant. The results show that both ΔH and ΔS contribute to the free energy of binding and that their relative contributions are similar for each solution condition evaluated.

    Notes: A conformational quantum-mechanical study of (Gly-Phe-Pro) and (Gly-Pro-Phe) repeating tripeptide sequences has been carried out with the PCILO method. Using appropriate molecules as a model, we investigated the conformational possibilities of each in situ residue. Computations have been done taking into account the two typical pyrrolidine ring puckering and the most favorable orientations of the phenylalanyl side chain. Major conclusions drawn from this study are that the phenylalanyl can be accommodated at both second and third positions in the sequence without preventing the formation of triple-helix conformation. However, the analogy observed between the rotational possibilities around the second residue of Gly-Pro-Pro and Gly-Phe-Pro indicates that phenylalanyl in the second position favors the triple-helix formation.

    Notes: The structure of the nucleosome core particle in solution has been studied by neutron scattering using the full-contrast variation technique, which reduces the experimental spectra to three fundamental scatter functions holding information on shape and structure. Systematic calculations of the fundamental scatter functions expected from proposed core-particle models have been compared with the observed functions and show that the neutron-scattering criteria severely restrict the number of models which can be valid for the structure in solution. The best model for the core particle in solution has a hydrophobic histone core about which 1.7 ± 0.1 turns of DNA are wrapped at a pitch between 3.0 and 3.5 nm. This core contains most of the histone and has an average thickness of 4 nm and diameter 6.4-7.5 nm. While solution scattering is not able to specify uniquely the actual shape of the core to high resolution, all models which are possible for the shape of the core to a resolution justified by the data have been considered. It is clear that cylindrical or wedge shapes compatible with the above dimensions are valid structures. A hole probably penetrates the histone core, but the data do not allow a diameter greater than 1 nm. Available evidence suggests that about a quarter of the total histone is outside the core.

    Notes: The relationship between published vicinal proton-proton coupling constants and the pseudorotation properties of the pyrrolidine ring in L-proline, 4-hydroxy-L-proline, 4-fluoro-L-proline, and several linear and cyclic model proline peptides is investigated. Compared to earlier studies, several important improvements are incorporated: (1) a new empirical generalization of the classical Karplus equation is utilized, which allows a valid correction for the effects of electronegativity and orientation of substitutents on 3JHH; (2) an empirical correlation between proton-proton torsion angles and the pseudorotational parameters P and τm is derived; and (3) the best fit of the conformational parameters to the experimental coupling constants is obtained by means of a computerized iterative least-squares procedure. Two pseudorotation ranges were considered, classified as type N (χ2 positive sign) and type S (χ2 negative sign). The conformational equilibrium is fully described in terms of four geometrical parameters (PN, τN, PS, τS) and the equilibrium constant K. The present results indicate that, in general, the geometrical properties found in x-ray studies of proline and hydroxyproline residues are well preserved in solution. Several novel features are encountered, however. It is demonstrated that the proline ring occurs in a practically 1:1 conformational equilibrium between well-defined N- and S-type forms. Introduction of an amide group at the C-terminal end has no observable effect on this equilibrium, but the formation of a peptide bond at the imino nitrogen site results in a pronounced, but not exclusive, preference for an S-type form which is roughly 1.1 kcal/mol more stable than its N-type counterpart. The hydroxyproline ring system in neutral or acidic medium displays a pure N-type state, but N-acetylation results in the appearance of a minor (S-type) conformation. Cyclic proline dipeptides similarly exist in a biased conformational equilibrium. The major form (77-88%) corresponds to the N-type conformer observed in the solid state; the minor S-form has not been observed before. In contrast, cyclic hydroxyproline dipeptides display complete conformational purity. Ranges of endocyclic torsion angles deduced for the various classes of pyrrolidine derivatives in solution are presented. Each torsion appears confined to a surprisingly narrow range, comprising about 4°-8° in most cases. In all, the proline ring is far less “floppy” than hitherto assumed.

    Notes: Measurement of the equilibrium distribution of persistence length fragments of DNA in high concentration in the ultracentrifuge shows that the reduced osmotic pressure rises much faster than linearly. From analysis of the data in terms of the Zimm cluster integral we infer that the net interactions between helices are purely repulsive at all distances. A theoretical equation of state derived from scaled particle theory with one adjustable parameter is in excellent agreement with the experimental data so long as the salt concentration is not excessively low. The parameter represents the hard-core radius in a simplified approximation to the potential function for the electrostatic repulsion between helices. Its value depends on the salt concentration, and it shrinks at high salt to a radius in close agreement with direct structural estimates. At a particular value of the osmotic pressure that is only slightly salt dependent, the solution undergoes a reversible transition to a denser, turbid, optically anisotropic phase. The relation between DNA volume fraction, including the electrostatic radius, at the transition point and the effective asymmetry of the molecules as a function of salt is in approximate correspondence with various theoretical treatments. However, the experimental function extrapolates to the correct limit for spherical particles. The work needed to bring DNA to a high concentration is estimated. The results suggest that the phase transition is first order.

    Notes: This report presents a quantitative test of the ability of the counterion condensation theory to describe the proton-induced lowering of DNA melting temperature. From a general approach of Record et al. [Record, M. T., Anderson, C. F. & Lohman, T. H. (1978) Q. Rev. Biophys. 11, 103-178], we have obtained an expression that may be computer-fitted to the experimental data by numerical minimization of χ2. To do this, in addition to the assumptions made by Record et al., it was necessary to suppose that the interchange between protons and sodium is independent of pH and, due to the absence of data, take the enthalpies of protonation as thermally independent over the experimental temperature range. The dependences of the enthalpy of denaturation at neutral pH on sodium concentration and on G + C content were taken from literature. In the fitting process we have used 250 melting temperatures obtained at different pH and sodium concentrations for various natural DNAs. The theoretical expression gives a good quantitative description of the G + C and sodium concentration influences on the phenomenon but is only qualitative with respect to the dependence of dT/d log[Na+] on the pH. The adjusted pK values for the bases in denatured DNA agree with those for isolated deoxynucleosides. Interchange between sodium and protons is found to be less than 1:1. Calculated protonation enthalpies are ill-defined because of their low numerical influence. In short, it appears that the theory gives a good description of most of the aspects of the phenomenon even if it has some shortcomings, perhaps due to the great number of assumptions.

    Notes: We studied the kinetics of replacement of O2 by CO in hemoglobin in the presence and absence of organic cosolvents (methanol, ethanol, iso-propanol, n-propanol, formamide, acetamide, N-methyl-formamide) and at 10 and 25°C. Quantitative analysis of the results indicates that these cosolvents do not affect the intrinsic binding constants of ligands to the heme when hemoglobin is in the R conformation. The present results confirm the previously reported suggestion that the effects of the above cosolvents on the oxygen affinity of hemoglobin are related to effects on the T ⇄ R conformational equilibrium.

    Notes: Preparations have been made of acid-soluble collagens whose telopeptides have suffered different levels of proteolytic attack. The collagens with more intact telopeptides form fibrils more rapidly than those with degraded telopeptides. In addition, we have shown that a high molecular weight aggregate rich in the carboxyterminal CNBr peptide, α1CB6, can be found in cyanogen bromide digests of fibrils formed from intact collagen. A similar aggregate is found in CNBr digests of native tendons. The aggregate formed in fibrils assembled in vitro can be stabilized by reduction, and its generation is strongly dependent on the presence of intact telopeptides. The latter point is the most objective evidence that to reproduce the characteristics of native fibrils in vitro, the collagen telopeptides must be preserved from proteolysis.

    Notes: We present an alternative to the common lattice model for nonspecific DNA-protein interactions by using ligands that translate freely along the polynucleotide instead of binding to distinct lattice sites along the polynucleotide chain. The general model we present corresponds to a one-dimensional continuum gas and is referred to as the “continuum model” to distinguish it from the general lattice model. Explicit expressions are obtained for the binding isotherm equation for two version of the continuum model, including the effects of binding-site exclusion and attractions between bound ligands. Theoretical results are compared to those obtained from the McGhee-von Hippel (1974) analysis of the lattice model with cooperative interactions between ligands occupying more than one lattice site. Practical applications of the continuum model are illustrated by analyzing (i) the noncooperative binding to single-stranded DNA by RNase (Jensen and von Hippel, 1976), and (ii) the highly cooperative binding to poly(rA) by a proteolyzed fragment of the gene 32 protein of phage T4 (Lonberg et al., 1981).

    Notes: The structure of water and its interaction energy with a fragment of B-DNA composed of 12 base pairs and of the corresponding 24 sugar and 22 phosphate units and Na+ ions (one at each phosphate group) are analyzed using Monte Carlo simulations. The sample of water molecules, at the simulated temperature of 300 K, is composed of 447 water molecules. The results are discussed either in terms of statistical analyses over the 2,000,000 simulated conformations (after equilibration) or with reference to an “average configuration.” Comparison is made to a simulation previously presented for the same system but without counterions. Isotherm at different relative humidity, hydration, and reactivity scales for different sites, the hydration number at each site, the structure of intraphosphate and interphosphate hydrogen-bonded filaments of water are reported and discussed. The stabilization of the B-conformation induced by the solvent with counterion (“ion-induced compression effect”) is analyzed on the base of the above findings. A preliminary model to predict conformational transition in DNA is presented. The analyses reported are very detailed to allow refined interpretations of spectroscopic (infrared, Raman, and nmr) and scattering (x-ray and neutron beam) data on DNA insolution.

    Notes: The conformational response of calf thymus DNA to solvent conditions altered by varying amounts of ethanol and NaCl has been monitored by circular dichroism (CD). These measurements, which extend over a much greater range of conditions than previously examined, reveal (above critical concentrations of ethanol and salt) a condensed form of the macro-molecule with unusually large positive ellipticity in the 250-300-nm region [the Ψ(+) state]. Mere increase in NaCl concentration at constant 35% (v/v) concentration of ethanol suffices to convert such Ψ(+) samples - via a series of intermediate forms with CD spectra resembling those of A-DNA, then B-DNA - into Ψ(-) states having anomalously large negative ellipticity similar to the well-known Ψ(-) forms produced by above-critical concentrations of poly-(ethylene oxide) and salt. These ethanol/salt-induced transitions are all completely reversible and can occur without formation of any visible precipitates. We suggest that they represent predominantly tertiary structural changes of B-form DNA molecules analogous to the changes which occur in several other systems where Ψ(+) ⇌ Ψ(-) interconversion has been reported. A “skein-of-yarn” model for the condensed tertiary (and quaternary, i.e., aggregated) state of the DNA affords one possible explanation for the inversions of ellipticity in all these cases. Such a model accords well with the accepted description of cholesteric liquid crystals.

    Notes: 1H-Nmr was used to measure the rate of cis-trans interconversion of X-Pro bonds in linear and cyclic oligopeptides. k(cis → trans) = 2.5 × 10-3 s-1 at 25°C was found for the zwitterionic form of H-Ala-Pro-OH, in good agreement with earlier measurements. Replacement of Ala by Phe, Tyr, or Trp resulted in a 10-fold slower interconversion rate, whereas after substitution of Ala by His or Glu, the rate decreased only slightly. Independent of the residues X, the interconversion rate was increased by a factor of ca. 20 when the peptide chain was elongated by addition of Ala to the C-terminal Pro. An additional increase by a factor of 6 was observed when going from the protected linear peptide CF3CO-Gly-Gly-Pro-Ala-OCH3 to the closely related cyclic compound c[-Gly-Gly-Pro-Gly-Ala-]. These data are evaluated with regard to their possible use in future studies on the role of X-Pro cis-trans isomerization in the kinetics of protein folding.
